Unlocking Files

The unlock command allows you to unlock one or more of your locked files. You can unlock files by:

• Choosing Run->Unlock opened files... in the control panel of the Path Browser. This brings up a form that lets you choose files to unlock. See below for a description of the form.

  "Unlock"

• Clicking the "Unlock" shortcut in the Path Browser's control panel. This unlocks all files in the current path that are currently locked in your workspace.

• Choosing Run->Unlock opened file or the clicking on the "Unlock" shortcut in the control panel of the File Browser. This unlocks the current file if it is locked in your workspace.

The "Unlock Opened Files" form

The Run->Unlock opened files... command in the Path Browser brings up a form that lets you choose which of your opened files to unlock.

If you have more than one pending changelist you can choose to unlock the files associated with only one of them. To do this, check "Unlock files in changelist", select the changelist you want, and click the "Unlock" button. This unlocks the files in the selected changelist whether or not they are in the current path.

Alternatively, you can chose to restrict files to unlock by path. For more information, see Restricting Files Used in Commands. Click the "Unlock" button after selecting the files you want to unlock.

Only the files locked in your workspace can be unlocked. (See also Locking Opened Files.)
