Open process or object in view mode

gedsmi — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 15:47:00 GMT

Hello, how can I open a process or an object in view mode (read-only) when no-one is editing it?
I want to view processes and objects, but do not interrupt developers, do not lock them for editing.
Thank you

If you right-click on the process or object, then select View from the popup menu, it should open the code for you in a read-only mode:

I tried this just now in Blue Prism 6.5.1. The window says "Debug" instead of "View", but it's still a read-only mode, and the process isn't locked as a result.

I want to view processes and objects, but do not interrupt developers, do not lock them for editing.

I wish everyone had your sense of consideration!

It looks like my version is 6.2 and my right-click menu is different. I do not have view choice.

Hmmm... I can't remember what 6.2 looked like. Maybe it just doesn't have a View option in that right-click menu. What happens if you right click on the most recent version history/save for that process? That should be the same thing. And then if that doesn't work, try selecting the 2 most recent version history/saves, right click, and then use Compare.

Thank you, right-clicking on the latest version did the trick.
