What’s the meaning of the green lock and the red lock?
February 20, 2009
With the menu item “check out”, files and folders are locked by other users. The folder or files are read – only for all users. You can see a green lock on the computer where the files ‘checked out’ and a red lock on the other computers.
When you editing a file (e.g. Word, Excel…) please check the file out, and when done editing it, check it back in. Thus other users are able to edit and save the file.
This prevents backup copies of files.
