Objects in edit mode in other workspaces are not available for modification. In order to modify such objects you
need to own the inactive object.
The options available for changing the inactive object ownership are as follows:
Option Purpose
Switch Ownership To take over multiple inactive objects from other users.
Inactive objects that do not have an active version are also
available for take over using this option
Take Over To take a single inactive object from another workspace that
you wish to edit using the editor.
Note: Using this functionality you can only own the inactive version of the object. The active version is
owned by the user who created and activated the object.
Prerequisite
You have obtained the Work in Foreign Workspace authorization.

1. If you want to own multiple inactive objects from other workspaces, do the following:
a. In the Quick Launch page, choose Switch Ownership.

Note: You can choose to save the changes made by the other user (previous owner of the inactive
version) to the inactive version of the object.
