Note

If required, you can set specific target segments to locked, in XTM Workbench, when the XLIFF file is uploaded into XTM Cloud. To do so, in the XLIFF file, in the relevant <target> segment(s), enter a specific attribute value.

Example 43. Attributes used for segment locking

To lock the relevant segment(s), enter an attribute xtm:locked with one of these valid values: "yes", "true", or "y". Example: <trans-unit><target xtm:locked="yes">.

The relevant values are NOT case-sensitive.

Other attribute values are ignored. It is also not possible to unlock any locked segments by importing the offline XLIFF file.


All XTM Workbench users will see the relevant segment(s) as locked. When they hover over the locked icon lock_gray_solid.svg, they will see which user locked them. This information depends on the settings made by your XTM Cloud Administrator (for details, see Privacy settings).

Users who have been granted the relevant access rights by their XTM Cloud Administrator or Project Managers can unlock these segments in XTM Workbench. To grant the relevant user(s) these access rights as an Administrator or Project Manager, select Edit user > Access rights tab. Then, in the XTM Workbench section, for the Segment locking rights setting, select either the Lock and unlock or the Unlock only option.
