ArcGIS Pro read only mode @gdb

[MoritzSchilling]

Hello,

is there a way to use ArcGIS Pro in a read only mode regarding gdbs in a project?

Until now we regularly used ArcMap to view data stored in one gdb (stored on a network drive) on different (or one and the same) mxds simultaneously opened on two (or more computers). On one computer the editing ist started and data is collected or edited etc. in the same time the data is viewed on other machines. As long as editing ist not started on any other than the "master" computer this would work just fine.

Working with ArcGIS Pro you can't save any edits as long as the gdb is loaded on any other machine.

Is there any way to make ArcGIS Pro open the gdb "read only"?

Thanks

Moe

File geodatabases are single user geodatabases meaning only one editor per table (i.e. feature class).  If someone is editing a feature class stored within a feature dataset, then the entire feature dataset is locked until the edit session is released.  You can have as many readers seeing the data during this time - no issues there.  How is your data organized?
