Do you mean that you lock and replace a lower level (K, M, L) record, upgrading
it to I, then want to lock and replace it again to fix something? If so, you
will need enhance status to upgrade that I-level record. <br>
<br>
Unless ... you have created the I-level record yourself <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>and there are no other holdings on that record</span></i>.
Then you can lock and replace the record. But, once someone adds their holdings
to that record, you have to have enhance privileges, even for your own records.<br>

I'll just chime in as someone who was formerly at an institution that <br>
was not an enhance library, as such you can upgrade both K and M <br>
records. Just fyi, for those who aren't enhance libraries.<br>
<br>
My two cents,<br>
