Locked Assets

Checking Out and Locking Assets

You can exclusively check-out / lock any asset you have write access to by clicking More > Check-out/Lock.

Locking an asset creates a Working Copy, with which you can:

• Edit - update the content as necessary.
• Commit Changes - finalize and submit the changes or send them into workflow.
• Break Lock - discard your changes.
• Reassign lock to another user - transfer the lock and working copy ownership (they must also have write access).

When previewing a locked asset, you'll be shown the Working Copy first. You can switch to the Current Version using the dropdown next to the title.

You can see all of your existing Working Copies in the My Content menu or dashboard widget under Locked Assets.
