Unlocking Files (Add-In)

Unlocking a file will remove exclusive access to a file, and allow anyone with the appropriate permissions to upload modified versions.

  1. Click to select one or more files.

    You can use the Shift and Ctrl keys to select multiple files. You can also click and drag a selection window over the files you want to select.

  2. Do one of the following:
    • Right-click on any selected item and click Unlock.
    • Click Action button and click Unlock.
    • Hover the mouse pointer over any selected item, click Menu button then click Unlock.

    Unlocking a file within a workspace will unlock the file in all workspaces and your library.

    The lock status icon changes to Unlocked icon.
