Handle modified without checkout files

Last modified: 17 June 2024

If you are going to modify or delete a file under Perforce version control, the read-only status of such file should be removed. JetBrains Rider takes care of automatically making files writable. However, you can change read-only status manually, which may happen in a number of ways; for example:

  • With the Clear Read-Only Status option enabled, you make a file writable using a file system.

  • When a read-only file is opened in the editor, you double-click lock icon uiStatusLock.png in the status bar.

  • You remove read-only attribute externally, using file properties.

In these cases, the file gets status Modified without checkout and appears in the Commit window .
