How to enable lock file and unlock file in my creo file window

[AR_10002308]

In my creo's manage file window lock file or unlock file option is not available. is there any configuration setting needs to be changed for that??

I think you are referring to File - Manage File - Lock. I am not 100% sure but I believe this is only available for users of Windchill PDMLink.

You're right, In my wind-chill workspace i am not able to see this lock option. Is there any settings to be changed for that?

In windchill, select the file/files then File > Lock

If the column is not visible, select the dropdown for a column then the columns and check General status.

This is my wind-chill screen. I am not having "lock", "unlock".

Hi,

according to https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS292262

There is a requirement for the objects in workspace to be checked in at least once before the option is available

Are you using the in-session browser?  I don't believe you can lock a file from an external browser.
