Locking Pages

Before editing a page, you should lock the page. Locking prevents the page from being edited by other users in parallel. The page lock can be released manually. It is released automatically after the configured lock interval has expired. For details about how to configure the page lock interval, see Defining Content Lock Period.

Tip:
Upon editing the page, it is automatically locked for you if it has not been locked already by another user.

Basically, there are two ways to lock pages: either directly from the page list or tree, or via the Page detail view.

Locking Pages in Detail View

To lock a page in the Page detail view:
  1. Select the management context from the context selection box, then select Content | Pages.
    This opens the Pages tree view.
  2. Click the name or ID of the page you intend to edit.
    This opens the Content tab of the detail view.
  3. Click the icon at the dialog top.
    An error message appears if the page is currently edited by another user.
Note:
Click the icon to release the page lock when you are done.

Locking Pages in List/Tree View

To lock pages in the Page list or tree view:
  1. Select the management context from the context selection box, then select Content | Pages.
    This opens the Pages tree view.
  2. Click the icon in the row of the page(s) you intend to edit.
    An error message appears if the page is currently edited by another user.
Note:
Click the icon to release the page lock when you are done.
