Lock Editing Feature

The Lock Editing feature in Core dna is designed to enhance collaboration among your marketing teams by preventing content conflicts and ensuring data consistency. This feature allows users to lock specific content pieces or page elements while they are being edited, thus avoiding simultaneous changes by multiple team members. Understanding how the Lock Editing feature works with Core dna is crucial for maximizing content integrity and workflow efficiency. As part of Core dna’s collaborative environment, this feature helps in maintaining organized workflows and tracking content ownership during editing phases.

How it Works

Once a user begins editing a content item or page, the Lock Editing feature can be activated to reserve the content area for that user exclusively. This means other users trying to edit the same content will see a notification or a warning, indicating that the content is currently locked and in editing by another team member. They can either wait for the content to be unlocked or notify the editor for coordination.

Practical Use Case

Imagine a scenario where your marketing team is preparing for a major product launch campaign. Various team members are responsible for different components, such as the landing page, email newsletter, and social media snippets. To ensure that each aspect is synchronized without conflicting edits, the content team can utilize Core dna’s Lock Editing feature.

As the head of content, you can lock the landing page content while you make necessary changes. Meanwhile, your social media strategist is notified that the page is currently being edited. Once you have finalized your edits, you unlock the content, signaling to the strategist that they can proceed with aligning their messaging based on the finalized content.

This not only maintains consistency across different marketing channels, it also prevents miscommunication, ensuring the launch goes off without a hitch.
