Yes. > So if I opened a document in 2 XXE > instances, I could only edit one, right? No, you can edit both instances (unless you have turned on the "Lock documents stored on the local filesystem" option -- http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.dialog.PreferencesEditorDialog.html#openOptions). Note that this does not prevent you from copying nodes from one instance (the one you'll not modify) to the other (the one you modify). All in all, it is simple and it works fine.
