This function is to avoid changes on specific folders/documents and actions by others, during a specific time.
Just right-click a folder/document (on either the right or left window pane) and select Lock from the drop-down menu. The selected folder/document will be locked.
Only users with appropriate rights can lock folders/documents.
After being locked, other users can only view the folders/documents.
The lock will be kept as current for a session only. If the locking user signs out, the node will be unlocked.
Other users can copy the locked node (by using the Copy/Paste functions outlined above); however, the original node cannot be removed or altered.
If no action is taken on a locked node within 30 minutes, the lock will be automatically removed.
To unlock the locked folder/document, right-click it and select Unlock from the drop-down menu. The folder/document will then be unlocked and other users can take actions on it.
