Locking and unlocking editable sections

When you open a module in shareable edit mode, you need to lock a section before you can edit it.

Before you begin

The module must be set up for shareable editing. If it has not been set up for shareable editing, there are no sections available for locking.

Procedure

  1. In the module window, select any object in the section that you want to lock.
  2. Click Edit > Section > Lock. If someone else has edited the data in the section since you opened the module, your screen is refreshed before the section is locked.
  3. When you have finished editing the section, you need to save and unlock it. Select File > Save and Unlock All Sections. To save the section without unlocking it, click File > Save.
