Unlocking a Workspace
* 
The ability to unlock a workspace is only available in Windchill PDMLink,Windchill ProjectLink.
Unlocking a workspace restores full functionality to a workspace after it has been locked. Typically, a workspace is locked during export and unlocked during reimport. One rationale for manually unlocking a workspace would be that an exported workspace is not being reimported.
To unlock one or more workspaces, select the locked workspaces on the My Workspaces page (embedded browser) and click the unlock icon .
* 
The lock/unlock behavior only applies to the workspace cache on the client, not the server-side workspace. When viewing workspaces from a standalone browser, there is no concept of locked or unlocked workspaces.
