The FileFflex client allows you to view, download and edit your files ( subject to file permission).

You can perform any file operation as if files are present on your local windows machine.    

You can double-click any file to open in your linked application and view/edit files. 

Opening "View-only" Files

If your admin has granted access to a content source where you have only view-only permission, then you can view these files only in FileFlex previewer. 

This is also applicable if someone has shared a file with you with view-only permission. 

Such files have a special file extension ( fsi-vo) 

Double-clicking these files will automatically launch FileFlex viewer and you can preview these files. 

Editing your files from a team content source

You are working on a content source that is assigned by the admin to you and is also accessed by other users in your team.

Before you start to edit such files, you may want to create a lock on the file, so that file can not be edited by other users during the time you are editing the file. 

A locked file shows a warning if any other users try to edit it. 

You can create such a lock by following the below steps 

• Locate the file by navigating inside the content source.  
• Right-click and select the "Lock File" item inside the FileFlex menu. 
• Clicking the same will create the lock.

You can now safely start editing files as other users can't edit such files unless the lock is explicitly removed by yourself.  

How to unlock a file 

• Right-click the file and click the "FileFlex" menu and inside it, you find the "unlock " item, 
• Clicking the same will unlock the file
