How to publish/checkout this workflow?

[Bharath kumar6]

I need to make some changes to the workflow , but it is not showing the "checkout" option here.

And at the top it is showing "Published (Checked out by )".

Hi,

No this is not working.

As per that link - it is showing "Checked out by"

Try below steps, it by servicenow

1. Go to the [wf_workflow] table. 

2. Once there search for the desired workflow, open the parent record

3. In the "workflow versions" related list, select the one that is checked out by a user. You can see which version is checked out by seeing the columns "checked out" and "checked out by." Open the record.

4. Once inside the record click on show workflow in the related links. 

5. Once there click on the three line or hamburger icon and here the option to force checkout will be seen. (NOTE: This option only exists on versions which are checked out by a user) 

6. Clicking on the force checkout will now check out the workflow version for the current user. Upon which the user can decide to delete or publish this version.
