| Check if files opened read-only have been modified by other users |
Checks files you have opened as read-only at the interval specified in Check files every X minutes to see if the files have been modified in one of the following ways:
- Another user saves a file that you have open in SOLIDWORKS, making your file out of date.
- Another user relinquishes write access to a file that you have open in SOLIDWORKS by making the file read-only, allowing you to take write access.
Lightweight components are not checked.
If the system detects a change, a tooltip in the lower right of the graphics area points to an icon  on the status bar. Click the icon to access the Reload dialog box.
To check file status manually, click Check Read-Only Files  on the Standard toolbar.
