Unlocking a master document from the project copy

To unlock a master document from a project copy, you must first know from which project copy the master document was locked in order to select it. If you don’t know the name of the project copy or the project folder where it is located, you can find out easily with the Show Project Copies command.

To unlock a master document from the project copy:

1. Select the project copy to which the master document is locked.
2. From the Document menu, select Master/Project Copy, and click Unlock Master Document.

The red lock icon next to the master document in the Navigation view will disappear and its Locked property will be set to “No,” indicating that the document has been unlocked.
