Cancel Any Asset Checkout or Lock

When a user checks out an asset, generally only that user can check the asset back in
or cancel the checkout. Similarly, if a user manually locks an asset, only that user can
unlock it.

The exception is if the logged in user has administration privileges; in that case, the
user can override the checkout or lock if necessary.

To override a checkout or lock on an asset:

1

Double-click the asset to open its detail window.

2

Click the Locks button to show the Locks pane.

3

Click the Cancel button.

Administrators can click
this button to clear this
lock.

Click Locks to see an

asset’s lock status.
