Re: Accidentally checkout out a story to the wrong workflow. Way to prevent this?
[In reply to]

We encounter this & fix it with a check in and shelve, too. If you have
access to the story log you can see which flow it was in last. Maybe
removing access to the other workflows on user/group level would prevent
from accidentally searching & checking out there?
Cheers,
Bryan
