An option is available to mark certain file types as non-collaborative, changing the way locks on the specified file types are handled. These settings are configured on a global level for all file collaboration jobs and are critical for certain file types so that the file collaboration solution is able to correctly read any part of these files, ensuring any managed database type files are synchronized in a consistent and usable state. To view and modify these settings, click on the Window menu from with the PeerLink Hub, and select Preferences. On the left-hand side of the dialog that pops up, open the tree node titled File Collaboration and select Locking. The following screen will be displayed.
