Locking an Artifact

An exclusive lock ensures that while you are modifying the artifact, no other user is able to edit or delete it.

When other user tries to save the edit done to the locked artifact, or lock the locked artifact, WebStudio displays an error stating that the artifact is already locked by a user.

Prerequisites

Enable the artifact locking mechanism for WebStudio using the ws.scs.locking.enable property in the RMS.cdd file. See Source Control System (SCS) Property Group for more details.

Procedure

In the Group Contents section, right-click on the artifact you need to lock, and select RMS > Lock.
The artifact is locked and a lock is displayed on the artifact icon.
