Locking and Unlocking Files and Folders
If you are sharing files or folders with others, you may want to lock a file when you are working on it. You are the only one who can access a file once you have locked it. Locking a file prevents other users with permission to work on the file from accidentally changing the file and overwriting your work on the file.
When you finish working on a locked file, you should Unlock it so other users can access it again.
Locking a File
- Right-click the file or folder you want to lock.
- Select Manage, and then select Lock Details from the pop-up menu.
- Use the drop-down list to set the status to Locked.
- Select Apply.
To Unlock a file, follow the steps above, but use the drop-down list in step 3 to set the status to Unlocked.
