Hi, is it possible to make a workset editable? I am trying to delete a workset, and the delete worksets node from Genius Loci is what I need, but it cannot delete noneditable worksets…

The CheckoutWorksets method also returns the Ids of all now and previously editable worksets provided to it I believe, which might simplify the logic of the process should you ever deal with lists of worksets to delete/move elements to. In the case of the above scenario you would also know that if the returned list has less than 2 objects, the process can not proceed.
