How can I unlock a record that has been "locked" for editing?
If you're reading this, you've probably received an error saying that a record you wish to access has been locked for editing! This means that another cataloguer from your organisation is currently updating the record or page you want to update.
To access a record that another cataloguer is working on, you need the permission to Unlock Records. Check out this article to learn how to modify member permissions.
Note that only one person can edit the Organisation details page at any one time.
