Worksets set as uneditable can be edit

[tw_you]

Other workers can still modify it even though it says no in the editable column of the workset. Do I need to add workers to the owner so that other workers can't modify that workset? Also, can I think that the non-editable setting of these worksets is similar to the laylck setting of CAD? I'm still a beginner at REVIT , so I have a lot of difficulties.  PLEASE help me...

If it has not been checked out by another user it can be borrowed by another user who want to edit it so basically!

• Editable means only you can modify the element no one else can edit them.
• Non-editable means no one has them and anyone can edit them.

Autodesk choose to name Workset statuses very poorly.  Editable and non-editable are not meant for the editing availability of the worksets content, but for renaming or deleting the worksets themselves.

- Noneditable: anyone can edit the content of the workset.  This should named Content Editable.

- Editable: only the one owning the workset (by set the workset to editable) can edit the workset content.  This should named Content Editable by [username] Only.

Agreed. I'm even using the Korean version, so I think it's more confusing because the settings are listed as words that have translated English into Korean. Thank you!
