Locking files

Request locks

From the Project tab, right-click on a file to open the context menu and select Request Lock.

An additional way to lock a file is by selecting it and going to Assets -> Request Lock.

View locks

After requesting a lock, a lock icon appears in the bottom right-hand corner of the file.

A list of all locked files will appear in the Locks view in the GitHub tab.

Release locks

There are three ways to release locks:

1. From the Project tab, right-click on the locked file to open the context menu and select the option to Release Lock.

   

2. From the GitHub tab under the Locks view, right-click to open the context menu and select to Release Lock.

   

3. Select the file to unlock and go to select the menu option Assets -> Release Lock.

Note: There are also two options for how to release a lock on a file. Always choose the Release Lock option first. The Release Lock (forced) option can be used to remove someone else's lock.
