Lock and unlock files and folders

Last modified: 07 September 2023

Though Subversion integration allows you to successfully modify and merge files changed by different team members, sometimes it makes sense to lock files (for example, images) to avoid overwriting changes.

Apart from locking files and folders, you can toggle their read-only attribute by using the Read-only / Write-only status bar icons or the File | Make File Read-only, or File | Make File Writable main menu commands. For more information, refer to Toggle read-only attribute of a file.
