K2 Workflow Designer - Unlock a Workflow

If a workflow is locked it can only be unlocked by the original designer of the workflow who shares the workflow

If a shared workflow is opened by a user that has rights to the workflow, the state of the workflow changes to Locked. When the user is done with the workflow, the state changes to Deployed. If a workflow is locked and need to be unlocked for some reason, only the original designer of the workflow can unlock the workflow. The Workflows screen is used to unlock a workflow by the original workflow designer.  To unlock a workflow, right-click on the specific workflow status.  An Unlock Workflow option will be displayed.
