When an editor selects the ‘Edit’ button, this turns on the automatic content lock so others cannot edit at the same time. The content lock message is displayed in a colored bar. To unlock your content by saving, select ‘Save.’ This is the recommended process of locking and unlocking content.
If you navigate away from a page in edit mode without saving, a pop-up message will ask you if you want to leave without saving. Return to the page to save or unlock manually. If you leave the page, you will lock the content without saving.
To unlock without saving your content while in edit mode, select the ‘Unlock’ link below the Narrative Content area. Navigating away from the edit mode without saving will delete your edits and revert to the last saved version of the narrative.
- A message appears asking you to confirm the 'break lock' of your content. You will lose any content you have entered since you selected 'Edit.'
- To confirm, select the ‘Break Lock’ button.
To return to edits, select 'cancel.'
