Lock workspace documents

Applies to MindManager used with Mindjet Connect.

If you don't want anyone else to make changes to a document you can lock it. Other members can still view the document but they cannot edit it, and they will see that you have the document locked in the documents list.

Locking maps

You can lock a map either before or after you open it. If you lock a map while other members are editing it, you'll see a warning, and if you proceed with the lock they will no longer be able to make changes to the map.

Members who view locked maps will see the lock information in the Map Status indicator in the upper-left of the Map View.

Locking files

Files (non-map documents) are automatically locked when they are checked out for editing, and unlocked when they are checked in, but you can also manually lock and unlock them.

Lock or unlock a document

Do one of the following:

The "Locked by me" icon in the Documents list indicates documents that you have locked. You will also see this icon in the Map Status indicator if you edit the map.

Break a lock

Workspace Owners can break locks on documents locked or checked out by other members:

If the document was checked out, the checkout is discarded. Any changes made to the document  that were not previously checked in are lost.

If you leave a workspace or if you are removed from the workspace by another member all your locks are removed.
