This function is to avoid changes on a specific content and actions by others, during a specific period.

Locking content

Note

  • Only users with appropriate rights can lock the content.

  • After being locked, other users can only view the content.

  • The lock will be kept during the current session only. If the user who locks the content signs out, the content will be unlocked.

  • Other users can copy the locked content (by using the Copy/Paste functions outlined above); however, the original content cannot be removed or altered.

  • If no action is taken on the locked content within 30 minutes, the lock will be automatically removed.

Unlocking content
