The read-only mode lets you view a document without locking it.
To open a document in read-only mode that is locked by another user:
- In Sophora Web, search a document.
- In the appropriate search result, click or tap the context menu (three dots).
- Select the glasses icon or Open for reading.
To switch between read-only and edit modes:
- In Sophora Web, open a document.
- In the upper-right corner of the document's action bar is a button that allows you to switch between the edit mode (pen icon) and the read-only mode (glasses icon).
Note: The switch button is not active if you do not have the permission to edit the document or if the document is locked and you are not permitted to break locks.
To open a document in read-only mode that is locked by another user:
- In the dialog that appeared when you tried to open the document, select Open read-only.
