Releasing Locks

Releasing Locks

You can force Lawmaker to release locks on a particular Bill or SI. (Locks are normally released whenever a user saves the document.)

Releasing locks should only be used as a last resort, e.g. when the user with active locks on a document is uncontactable and you cannot wait for them to release the locks themselves.

How to release locks

If you are unable to contact the user(s) who have active locks on a document, in the upper toolbar, select Document > Release All Locks.

When Lawmaker releases the locks, it will create snapshot versions of all users’ unsaved changes so that their changes can be recovered if necessary. All users in the same organisation will be able to view the snapshot version.
