ProjectWise Explorer? that has icons and/or menu items to update or check in files that you have checked out. If you actually copied it out to your machine, it may not be that easy. Your ProjectWise Administrator probably has some sort of guidance on how they expect you to work on files in their project. If they don't , they should.

SS4 is delivered with a Help file, but that's about all the "manual" I know of. I do know that the Wiki here, as well as the Bentley Learn site have a number of videos and articles that explain and illustrate the basics of the design process. You can even find a lot of good information out on YouTube.

In SS4, you do not need the ALG to create a horizontal or vertical alignment, but you will need that alignment saved to the ALG for other processing.

Have you tried freeing the alignments?

While the "Default" access mode may be Read-Write, it is still possible for files to be read-only. It may have had that bit set before you downloaded it. Even within an ALG files, certain parts of it can be write-locked. Our Surveyors "lock" their alignments all the time so that, even though we open the file with read-access, we cannot change their alignments without their cooperation.

It's also possible that the ProjectWise permissions, or download process itself, has turned that file read-only for you. If that's the case, you may need to speak with your ProjectWise administrator about getting write-access to that file.
