Release locks with the Release Locks tool

Available with Location Referencing license.

The Release Locks tool can release any lock whose releasable status value is Yes.

Tip:

You can also release locks through the LRS Locks table.

The following table describes the releasable status values:

Releasable status	Reason
Yes	The lock is owned by the user who is signed in (in any version), and the route or event has not been edited.
On Post	The lock is owned by the user who is signed in (in any version), and the route or event has been edited.
No	The lock is owned by another user.

Impact of the user and version on releasable status

The releasable status reported in the LRS Locks table is dependent on the user signed in and the version being edited.

The following is an example of the LRS Locks table with user22 signed in using Version2:

The LRS Locks table is shown with user22 signed in using Version2.

1	The locks were acquired by user22 using Version2, and their edits were saved, resulting in a releasable status value of On Post.
2	The locks were acquired by user22 using Version2, and they didn't save any edits, resulting in a releasable status value of Yes.
3	The locks were acquired by user11 using Version1, and the signed-in user (user22) didn't acquire the locks, resulting in a releasable status value of No.

The following is an example of the LRS Locks table with user11 signed in using Version1:

The LRS Locks table is shown with user11 signed in using Version1.

1	The lock was acquired by user11 using Version1, and they didn't save any edits, resulting in a releasable status value of Yes.
2	The locks were acquired by user22 using Version2, and the signed-in user (user11) didn't acquire the locks, resulting in a releasable status value of No.

Release locks

To release locks using the Release Locks tool, complete the following steps:

1. Start ArcGIS Pro and open a project with an LRS Network from a conflict prevention-enabled LRS.
2. Select one or more routes using a feature selection tool.
3. Click Release Locks on the Location Referencing tab.

   Note:

   • This tool is enabled when the following occur:
     • Conflict prevention is enabled.
     • At least one route is selected.
   • If the route selection contains a combination of routes whose releasable status values are Yes, No, or On Post, or if the selected route has no locks, clicking Release Locks releases only those routes whose releasable status value is Yes.
