Lock a document

While you are working on a document, you can lock it to prevent others from editing it and then posting new versions to CollabNet TeamForge .

When a document is locked, any user with the document view permission can view or download the document, but only document administrators and the document creator can post new versions to TeamForge .

You can lock a document when you create it or at any time afterward.

Note: Locking a document does not prevent it from being edited in its native application.
  1. On the Document Details page, confirm that the lock status is currently Unlocked.
  2. Click EDIT/UPDATE.
  3. On the Edit Document page, select LOCK DOCUMENT.
  4. Click Save. The document is now locked. It is represented by the Padlock icon in the document list view.
