To lock a file using the Legal Hold > F-Lock option, do the following:

Select the file you want to lock.

From the File menu, select Legal Hold > F-Lock. The File > Legal Hold > File-Lock dialog appears. It informs you that the file and all prior VersionDocument versions are successive, saved snapshots of work in progress. Versioning is a way of backing up your work, preserving earlier drafts so you can discard the latest changes if necessary.s (if any) will be made read-only. For regulatory reasons, once you have locked it and made it read-only, you cannot reverse the function.

Click Proceed.

 

After you have locked the file, an icon of a locked disk appears in Ver# column of Worldox file list.

If you open the file, it will be read-only, but you can move it, copy it, delete it or apply security settings to it.
