Operations Impacted by Locks

When you lock an object, other users cannot:

• Edit its properties or geometry.
• Move it to another collaborative space or organization, or change its owner.
• Change its maturity state.
• Cut or delete it.
• Remove child objects (including specifications and documents).
• Replace or specify a configuration context.

However, they can:

• Revise it.
• Duplicate it.
• Copy/paste it
• Add child objects.

Important: When you only lock the usage of the object, only the relationship between this usage and its parent object is locked. Other users cannot modify this relationship, that is cut/paste this usage or delete it. However, they can change the maturity state of the object, its owner, or move it to another collaborative space or organization. They can also specify its configuration context.

Lock Status

In grid view, you can view the lock status in the Lock column:

Icon	Description
	The object is locked by me.
	The object is locked by another user.
	The object is not locked.

These icons indicate the lock status of the reference (the object itself). The lock status is not displayed for instances (usage of the object in the structure).
