Document locking
When you set the database property "Allow document locking," users with Author access or higher can lock documents in that database. Locking a document prevents editing and replication conflicts by ensuring that person who locks the document has exclusive rights to modify the document; others with the same rights cannot modify a locked document even if they are working on a different replica on the same LAN. Managers of a database cannot edit a locked document. However, managers can unlock documents that are locked.
