### 8.6.3. Getting Exclusive Control of an Object

The Get Exclusive Control action enables you to take exclusive control of an object (and optionally its children).

You will be able to get exclusive control of an object only if:

1. The folder is checked out to you (if it is under version control).

2. No other user has exclusive control of the folder.

To get exclusive control of an object:

1. Select the object(s), then select (Edit) > Get Exclusive Control. This opens the Get Exclusive Control dialog box, as shown below.

   Figure 8.15: Get Exclusive Control Dialog Box

2. If the object has children (for example, if the object is a folder and it contains files), an Include all children option is displayed. Check this box if you want exclusive control of the object’s children in addition to the object itself.

3. Click OK.
