When working on a workshared project, you can use various methods to make worksets editable.
To make worksets editable from the Worksets dialog
- Open your local copy of the central model.
- Click Collaborate tab
Manage Collaboration panel
(Worksets).
- In the Worksets dialog, to filter the display of worksets, make the appropriate selections under Show. For example, to see the Project Standards worksets, select Project Standards.
- Click under Editable for the workset, and select Yes. Alternatively, you can select the workset name, and click Editable.
Note: If a workset is owned by another user, you cannot change its editable status.
- Repeat the previous step for as many worksets as you want to edit.
Tip: To check out multiple worksets at once, click the workset name under the Name column to select it, hold Ctrl or Shift and select other worksets, and then click Editable. You can select all worksets by pressing Ctrl+A.
- Click OK.
When you click OK, ownership information is communicated to the central model and to all local copies of the central model, so that all team members have the current ownership information.
