Need to edit a prop that's "checked out" by another team member

General Issues and Bug Reporting

A team member has one prop “checked out” with revision control and I’m unable to make any changes to it. They might be away for a few weeks and wont be able to check it in themself.

Will I be unable to make progress in that area for several weeks because of this?
Also, does anyone know if I temporarily remove them from the Fortnite team, will I then be able to edit that prop? I’m concerned that the prop could become permanently stuck in that state if I attempt it.

Aside from that, this also brings up another problem:
What if a team member goes MIA or leaves the team indefinitely? Will we have to forever live with their checked out props in our game?

Removing the person from the team doesn’t remove the “checked in by user” status. I reported this as a bug. Removing a person from the team should remove the check-in in my opinion.

There is a workaround if you feel comfortable using the CLI
Unreal Revision Control Command Line Interface.
