The Model repository retains object locks if the Developer tool stops unexpectedly. When you connect to the Model repository again, you can view the objects that you have locked. You can continue to edit the objects, or you can unlock the objects.
You might want to unlock objects if the developer who locked the object is unavailable and another developer is assigned to develop the object. You view and unlock locked objects through the
Locked Objects
dialog box.
To view the
Locked Objects
dialog box, click
File
Locked Objects

Then you can click

to unlock all the selected objects.
If your work is interrupted, you can view the objects that you have locked to identify the objects you were working on.
