Can no longer save files when running without source control

With 4.7 I could click the Source Control button, change Source Control settings and choose to Run Without Source Control. I was then able to save and move files as I wanted in my previously source control enabled project.

With 4.8 I can still Run Without Source Control, but when I want to make changes the following window pops up and I can’t save anything even while I disabled source control:

How can I work around this?

Hi MisterMonday -

You should be able to mark the asset’s checkbox and then Make Writable. Have you tried this?

Let me know -

Oops, I totally missed this. I was so used to the old work flow where not being connected to source control meant that I could just save anything without being asked. The blueprint search indexing function asked me to check out files even while I was disconnected and was working with files that were not even on the server or marked for add, so that got me confused. That and a lack of coffee.

Thanks and sorry for this question. Please convert your comment to an answer as I fail to see how to do this too!

thank you this saved me alot of hassle
