Document Write Protection

You have the option of write protecting a document in the detail view of the document. Clicking on the button Write protect here locks the document. Other users are then restricted from editing the document. The edit symbol is then not visible to the other users for the time being. If a document is write-protected, its document symbol is shown in red in the document overview. The write protection feature is designed to maintain continuity and integrity in the version administration system of the document administration. Once you have write protected a document, you are the only person who is permitted to upload new versions of it. This prevents situations where two users are inadvertently working on the same document at the same time.
