Causes of 'This resource is locked' in Explore
What causes the 'This resource is locked' message in Explore?
The 'This resource is locked' message is caused by multiple editors trying to access the same dataset in Explore. When two editors are working on different reports within the same dataset, only the first editor can access the Calculations menu.
The second editor will see the locked message because the resource is currently being edited by someone else. This mechanism is designed to prevent editing conflicts, allowing only one editor to make changes at a time. For more information, visit theExplore FAQ: Using Explore.
