Release a locked object
You can release a locked object to save your latest modifications to the server and unlock the file so other users can edit it. An object can only be released by the user who locked it.
In the case of a map, the Release command updates changes to the map's structure. In the case of an XML topic, the Release command validates the topic to make sure that references are correct and that the XML is well-formed.

The Release function is available from all views.
