4. What is project locking, and how do I
use it?
Project locking helps multiple editors in a workgroup environment who are
working together on a single Premiere Pro project by warning them when a
project is currently in use by another user (opened for read/write access) so
they can wait for that user to stop editing the project before opening the
project for write access themselves. Alternatively, other users can open a locked
project in "read only" mode, where they can copy or drag and drop elements
from the locked project or playback sequences for viewing only.
