Multi-User Environment Related Topics: Working in a Multi-User Environment With Open Plan, multiple users can access project data simultaneously. Working in Exclusive Mode If you open a file using Exclusive mode, other uses can open the file only in Read Only mode. Working in Shared Mode You can work with project data in Shared mode. In this mode, it is possible for two or more users to access the data concurrently. Working in Read Only Mode If you have opened a file in Read Only mode, it is possible for other users to have access to the same file in any mode. Setting the Default Access Mode Although you can always select an access mode when opening a file from the Open File dialog box, it is also possible to open files from a context menu without displaying this dialog box.
