Yup, and that's the whole idea. *If* you modify the content of the page, you can't really avoid possible conflicts, which I understood to be your requirement. Locking doesn't help either, because in your model there is no "start of edit", which would lock the page. So the real solution would be a true collaborative editor, in which all changes to a page would be reflected to everyone currently viewing the page. This is not impossible, though a lot of work :-) /Janne
