Preferred Edit Mode

Where to find it

• Tools > Settings > Producer > Server Workarea > Preferred Edit Mode

Purpose

By default, when you double-click on an object in the Producer Workarea, this will Start Editing the object, and you are passed into the relevant editor. Alternatively, there is an Open as Read-Only option on the right-click shortcut menu.

The Preferred Edit Mode setting allows you to flip this, so that double-clicking on an object will open it in read-only mode, and there is an Edit option on the right-click shortcut menu.

Use

This setting needs to be set by each Author individually (and per Workarea, if they access multiple Workareas). VValues are:

• Start Editing: Double-click will start editing the object
• Open as Read-Only: Double-clicking will open the object in read-only mode.
