You can lock the elements of a project in a trunk or a branch to prevent it from being modified by others. Only users who have a permission to remove a user lock can unlock the elements of that particular project. As multiple users may work on a single project, they may also lock different elements in the project. TWAdmin allows you to unlock elements in a project that are locked by a particular user in a branch or all locked elements in a project in a particular branch.
You can remove locks on a project in the Locked Elements Management dialog of that particular project. The Locked Elements Management dialog allows you to see if there are user locks in the project. The dialog provides two options to remove locks on a project: Release and Release all. The former option allows you to unlock an element in a project that is locked by a particular user while the latter option allows you to unlock all elements in a project.
