Description

The feature of a multi-author is nice but a problem that it creates is that if one author is currently editing a post that has been previously saved there is no way for another author who wishes to work on same entry to know it's being worked on. This causes overwrite of eachothers work. Last one saved will be the one that is kept.

*If there was a checkout for editing feature this would solve the problem.

A simple way to implement this would be locking the entry row when someone goes into edit mode on an entry. Only thing to really watch for is that there is an expiration time on the lock in case the editor exits without resaving the entry. Also a change to the edit entry comand so it realises an entry is locked and display a message to relay this fact.
