MULTI-USER

Exclusive mode: What's this?

A few changes to a multi-user project have such a deep impact that virtually the entire project is affected - this is for example the case when:

• Updating a project from an earlier version of articy:draft

To avoid problematic impacts on the work of other team members, this action requires a project administrator to open the project exclusively. In order to do so, all partitions need to be unclaimed. Now a project admin is able to open the project exclusively by right clicking the project in the project selector and then click on "Open project (exclusively)".

This action automatically prevents other articy:draft users from open the project and also claimes all partitions of it. Once the project is open, it is considered to be in exclusive mode. This is indicated by a little yellow crown icon in the connection area of the master toolbar.

Change the partition structure

The exclusive mode also allows to...

- turn a mere folder or flow fragment into a partition
- cancel an already existing partition to turn it into a simple folder/flow fragment.
