Can't checkout workflow

[kevinmcdonald]

I was working on a workflow this morning and suddenly can no longer check it out. The workflow shows as published, has no active contexts and does not appear to be checked out by anyone else. My other workflows are unaffected - I can check them all out just fine. I have logged out and back in. I cleared my browser cache and restarted the browser. I tried impersonating another admin and no luck.

Ideas?

Were you perhaps impersonating anyone when you had it checked out?

Thanks rfedoruk! I had indeed been impersonating a test user and somehow managed to get the workflow checked out under that user's account in spite of the user not having rights to the Workflow editor. Weird. Once I deleted the checked out version I was again able to check out the workflow. (Since the impersonated user doesn't have rights to the editor I could not simply publish it.)

I did check to see if the workflow was checked out by someone else, but I must have been looking in the wrong place. (Thanks for the tip, Pradeep.)
