Hi,

I have a process that was checked out before we migrated to new servers. On the new server, I can't log in with the user that checked out the process and the old server has already been decomissioned.
I know I can force check out of the process, but I am afraid I will lose everything that was done on the process since it was checked out.
It was checked out in 2016. It was last saved in 2024.
If I force check out, will I get the last version before the process was checked out or the version that was last saved during the check in? How exactly does this work?

Thanks!

Hi,
as far as I know, force check out will not undo any changes.
according to https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Process/module_2_4_6_3#force-check-out

"Remember that the check-out system serves only to inform users that someone else is currently working on a process. It has no way of forcibly preventing extraneous interference in a process."

Hi Marek,

Jacek is right. Check outs have no impact on any saved changes. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to create workflow instances which use the latest version. :)
There's no similarity to the checkout of documents in SharePoint.

Best regards,
Daniel
