The Lock View tab is displayed only when working with server projects.


The Lock View tab is used to display what was locked in the project (locked elements, project structure, symbol styles) and by which users. Next to the locked element, you can see the name of the user who has locked it. Using the Filter by user list in the Lock View tab toolbar, you can see the elements, locked by the particular user.
