Is there the possibility to lock a document temporarily without hiding it from other users?

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hello,

Is there the possibility to lock a document temporarily without hiding it from other users?

An example to better explain our issue:

We have a document X

User A downloaded It and modified the document

User B download the same document and modify it.

Then user A has his modification but not a modification from user B.

User B has his modification but not the modification from user A.

Now user A uploaded a new version of document X with his modification, then user B upload his version of document X just with his modification.

Now on Alfresco we have just the last version of document X with the last modification from user B.

We lost  an old version the modification from user A.

Is there a way to set up a Traffic Light to avoid user B from modification document X untill user A has uploaded this new version?

Thank you very much

Best regards

From one side if user A is doing an "Edit Offline" action, the document will be automatically locked. In this sense, user B won't be able to perform any action

BTW: A recommendation to avoid that problem: https://www.onlyoffice.com/ They have an integration with Alfresco and I can confirm you it's working very well!!

I hope this info can help you.

Cheers,

Cristina.
