"cancel editing" command

[Marlboros]

I'm running into an issue where the "cancel editing" command fails to release a node due to an error, leaving it permanently locked. Because of this, I cannot execute any actions or modifications on it. Could you advise on the proper method to override this lock and forcibly free it?

Try using the REST API:

curl -u admin:admin \ 
-X POST \ 
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ 
'http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/<UUID>/unlock' \ -d '{}'
