The following image shows the Worksets dialog, with the 2 default user-created worksets, Shared Levels and

The Worksets dialog provides the following information:
Active workset designates the workset to which new elements are added. The active workset can be a
workset that is editable by you or one that is owned by another team member. You can add elements to
worksets you do not own.
NOTE The active workset name also displays on the Worksets toolbar.
Gray Inactive Workset Graphics displays all elements in the drawing area that are not part of the active
workset as gray. This has no effect on printing.
Name indicates the name of the workset. You can rename all user-created worksets.
Editable indicates the editable status of a workset. You cannot change editable status until you save to
central.
Owner indicates the owner of the workset. If the Editable status of the workset is Yes, or you change the
Editable status of the workset to Yes, then you are the owner of the workset.
The Owner value is the user name that is listed on the General tab of the Options dialog. For more
information on the Options dialog, see
Borrowers lists the users who are currently borrowing an element from the workset. If there is more than
one borrower, you can view the list of borrowers from the drop-down list.
Opened indicates if a workset is open (Yes) or closed (No). Elements in open worksets are visible in the
project, elements in closed worksets are not.
