Handle modified without checkout files
If you are going to modify or delete a file under Perforce version control, the read-only status of such file should be removed. IntelliJ IDEA takes care of automatically making files writable. However, you can change read-only status manually, which may happen in a number of ways; for example:
- With the Clear Read-Only Status option enabled, you make a file writable using a file system.
- When a read-only file is opened in the editor, you double-click lock icon in the status bar.
- You remove read-only attribute externally, using file properties.
In these cases, the file gets status Modified without checkout and appears in the Changes view.
To resolve ‘modified without checkout’ files
- In the Changes view, expand Modified without Checkout node, and select the desired file.
- From the context menu of the file, choose Check Out . The file becomes writable, and moves to the active changelist.
Read-only files
If a file is read-only, it is marked with the closed lock icon in the status bar. If a file is writable, it is marked with the open lock icon .
Toggle the read-only mode on and off
- Open a file in the editor and click the lock icon / in the status bar.
- Alternatively, select a file in the Project tool window ( Alt+1 ), go to File | File Properties in the main menu and click Make file read-only .
If a read-only status is set by a version control system, it is suggested that you use IntelliJ IDEA version control integration features. For more information, refer to Version control.

Can you edit the files with other programs?

There is a lock symbol in the bottom of the toolbar. Is the lock open or closed? What happens if you click on the lock?
