When you begin to edit items in Sitecore you will be “checking out” each page in the process. It works just like checking books out at the library. When you check out a page other people cannot edit it. This is to make sure two people aren’t editing a page at the
!
same time. Initially you do not see which pages are locked at not.
!
1. To show the pages that are locked Right click on the far left of the Content
!
Tree , past the thin grey line, to show your view options.
2. Click on the “Locked Items” option to show a “lock” next to each page that is
!
!
!
!
currently checked out.
