As authors contribute content, they might find items that are locked by other
users, because either they are being edited by another user or a draft item has been created.
When a user is editing an item, the item is locked to other users. This means other users
are unable to edit the item until the current user closes the item that they are editing. A
lock symbol is displayed against items that are currently locked.
Administrators can lock and unlock items by selecting them and clicking either the Lock
or Unlock button.
The locking of sites, site areas, taxonomies, and categories is configurable and
is not enabled by default. When locking is enabled, authors cannot create any children
under the locked site or site area. This only applies to items that are located one level
below a locked parent.
When a new draft of a published item is created, a check mark is displayed next to the
published item indicating that no other user can create a draft until the current draft
progresses through a workflow and its state changes to published.
