 2             Topics get locked for some time (default is one hour) whenever a user edits, previews or saves a topic. This is to prevent simultaneous topic updates. There is a lock warning if another user tries to edit a topic while the lock is still on.
 3             
 4             It is worth noting that all topic changes you do within the lock time will go into the same revision. In other words, if you find a mistake immediately after saving the topic, then TWiki will pretend that it never happened if you fix it within the topic lock time.
 5             
 6             You can remove the lock by checking the "Release edit lock" checkbox in preview. This is a way to let other people know that you are done with your editing.

 9             	* Please remember *not* to go back in your browser in case you checked the box and after that you decide to do more changes to the topic. Instead press the *Edit* link to re-edit your page.
10             	* The initial state of the checkbox can be set to on with the =RELEASEEDITLOCKCHECKBOX= preferences variable. See TWikiPreferences for more.
11             	* The time for which topics are locked is set in the =lib/TWiki.cfg= file property =editLockTime=.
