Removing the Exclusive Lock on Projects

Remove the exclusive lock on projects to enable other users to modify project data.

Note You can only release the exclusive lock for projects that you opened in P6. If you opened a project exclusively in P6 Professional, you must use P6 Professional to remove the exclusive lock.

To remove the exclusive lock:

  1. On the  Navigation Menu, expand  Projects and click EPS.
  2. Click Actions  and select Release Exclusive Lock.

Tip

You can also remove the exclusive lock for a project by:

  • Logging out of the application.
  • Opening the Open Project dialog box and reopening the same set of projects, making sure the Open Exclusively option is cleared.
  • Closing the project on the EPS page by right-clicking on the project and selecting Close.
