Locking article from editing

in progress

krzysztof

Hello,

I would like to request a feature to lock an article from editing by other users if one user is already editing it; alternatively to notify the second user that the article is being reviewed/edited by another user

We plan on releasing a feature that will resolve this issue.

At the very least, a warning that someone else has that page open for editing would allow us to check around real fast and make sure we don't overwrite each other.

We could greatly benefit from this as well. We have a team of Technical Writers who often work in overlapping documents. A notification that another writer is editing a document would be incredibly beneficial.

Erin Casto: Thx for letting us know -- this seems essential & we'll implement this soon

MPI Training

Emil Hajric: This feature is like super important for us as well. and I could take it a bit further-when a collaborator creates and edits an article, he could lock this article so that other collaborators won't be able to edit it on the Dashboard, since he is the owner. that would be very very useful, since we have plenty of users set up as collaborators.
