Users with the appropriate capabilities can add content to a hold to freeze them. Holds prevent changes to on hold items.
Note: Adding system files to a hold is not supported and could
create errors, this includes data dictionary files.
A hold allows items on hold for a particular reason to be tracked as a set.
Note: This functionality isn’t available if at least one hold
hasn’t been set up or you don’t have permission to put content on the existing
holds.
The content remains in its place in the Document Library. It is also shown in the Holds area of the File Plan explorer panel.
Note: To remove content from a hold hover over it in the File
Plan, Document Library or the Holds area and select Remove from
Hold. From the Holds area in the File Plan and from the List view in
the File Plan you can remove more than one item at a time. You do this by selecting
your items and clicking the Selected Items drop down list and
then Remove from Hold.
