The Model repository locks a profile when you edit it in the Developer tool or Analyst tool. If the tool stops unexpectedly, the lock is retained, so that when you connect to the Model repository again, you can view the profiles that you have locked. You can continue to edit the profiles, or you can unlock the profiles.

When the Model repository is integrated with a version control system, you can manage versions of a profile. For example, you can check out and check in profiles, undo checkouts, view specific historic versions of the profile, and view the profiles that you have checked out. For information about repository asset locks and versioned asset management in the Analyst tool, see the
