Work Units Tab

The Work Units tab of the File Manager displays information about each of your Work Units, including information about the status and owner of the files, as well as which files are read-only.

You can also perform some project management tasks, such as file renaming and deletion. If, however, you are using a source control plug-in, an additional set of commands, such as check-in and check-out, will be available by right-clicking the Wwise project file or a Work Unit in the list. The specific commands that will be displayed will depend on which source control system you are using with Wwise.

warning	Caution
warning	The Default Work Units are critical project files and should not be renamed or deleted.

Delete - The file is in the changelist and is ready to be deleted from the depot.

Local only - A file has been created locally and has not yet been checked in to the depot.
Lock - The depot file is locked so that no other user can check out the file for editing.
Normal - The file is checked in to the depot.
