Protecting your design in a team collaboration environment
Team collaboration development allows multiple team members working on the same project concurrently. Since all members are working on the same project, works done by one member may be modified by other members. Business Process Visual ARCHITECT (BP-VA) 4.0 supports locking the modification permission of a diagram. By locking the diagram, other members can only view it. They can modify it unless they have the password you used to lock the diagram. In this tutorial, you will learn how to lock your diagram to prevent it being modified in team working environment.
