published workflow no checkout option

[Richard P]

I know a few people have asked this and all got the same answer "its checked out by someone else" but in this case it is not, I'm the only admin in this week, I was working on it last night.

its published as you can see in the screenshot, but the checkout option is not there.

I agree with the next step where Patricia and MrSwann are going. Double check the Workflow Version table to ensure it's not checked out and the system just isn't recognizing it for what ever reason.

Sometimes it appears that no one else has it.   This is how to see for sure:

In the navigation pane:   type workflow verisons

Click on the all

Right click on the name (laptop new in your case) and show matching

Several versions show and one of them usually has someone in the checkout column

Impersonate that user

Pull up the workflow and publish it

after the above you will see something like this:

slightly dangerous to just publish it - as they may have made some changes not reflected in live (might suggest to delete if unsure and have a steadybaseline)
