Locking ownership

Locking ownership unlocks the copy of the document in the current share, locks the copy at all other shares, and prevents other shares from taking ownership of the document. It also updates the status information that is shown at all collaborating shares.

Before you begin

To lock ownership of a document:

  1. Select the document for which you want to transfer ownership.
  2. Click the Collaboration Status tab. The Collaboration Status property page appears.
  3. Click Lock. The document will be locked by the next GCF scheduled transfer.
