Chapter 9: Viewing and Editing Member Histories and Revisions
Unlocking Revisions
326
A padlock symbol appears next to the revision number, and your user
name and the date/time you locked the revision display in the Locked
column.
You can unlock a revision without checking it back into the archive.
Unlocking a revision does not discard any changes you have made;
however, resynchronizing or reverting the member would discard those
changes.
If you attempt to unlock a revision that is locked by another user, a
message warns you that you are about to break someone else’s lock.
NOTE
Although you may not be prohibited from breaking someone else’s lock, you
should be cautious about doing so, because it can result in confusion and
duplication of effort in shared working environments. For information on
permissions, see the Integrity Server Installation and Administration Guide.
To unlock a revision in the graphical user interface and Web interface
Do one of the following:
With a Member History view open, select a revision to unlock
(denoted by a padlock symbol), then do one of the following:
Select History > Unlock.
Click .
With the Locks for User window open (see “Locks View” on
page 450), select one or more locked revisions, then select Locks >
Unlock.
If the lock is not held by you, you are asked to confirm breaking the lock.
To confirm that you want to break the lock, click Yes.
The padlock symbol and the name of the user who had the revision locked
both disappear.
