Start an iModel Authoring Session

Start an iModel Authoring Session

Acquire a briefcase, lock elements, and push a changeset.

1. Acquire a briefcase for the iModel. The briefcase id identifies this authoring session and owns any locks taken during it.
2. Apply element locks for the acquired briefcase so the elements about to be edited cannot be modified concurrently by another session.
3. Push a changeset that records the modifications authored during the session under the acquired briefcase.

What you'll need to have ready

• iModelId: The iModel being authored.
• locks: The lock update payload describing which elements to lock and at what level.
