Workflow Opening in Read-Only Mode

Help Studio

A workflow inside my project is now opening in read-only mode when I go to open it and continue development. I was able to edit this workflow yesterday and did not knowingly make any changes that would cause this to happen. Does anybody have a solution for this issue?

Thanks

Close Studio. Make sure nobody else has the project open. Right-click the file in Windows Explorer, select properties, and make sure it’s not read only.

Thanks for the response. I closed Studio and ensured the project was not open elsewhere, additionally the .xaml files do not show as being “Read-Only”. Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi @jpreziuso

If it happens again I would suggest right-clicking the UiPath Assistant icon in your task tray, and clicking Quit. I’ve found that when you run an automation in Studio, Assistant is somehow tied into that and will grab hold of files and not let go. Often I cannot delete a project folder until I’ve quit Assistant.
