When editing maps within either the Assignments or Map Editor tabs, users must remember to save changes and close out of the map once they are finished. However, there may be times when maps remain locked if this action is not performed.
You have the ability to see who has a map locked, when it was last accessed by that user and to unlock the map if needed.
Note: We strongly recommend that you check with the user who has the map locked to ensure they have saved all changes before you unlock it.
