There is no locking or checkout feature in Zoho Wiki to prevent multiple contributors from working on the same page simultaneously. Every time a user saves their work, Zoho Wiki creates a new version of the page, so no work should be lost. However, only the latest version is displayed.

AVOID DUPLICATING EFFORTS

We strongly recommend that users follow these guidelines to avoid wasting hours of effort.

Look at the top of the page that you would like to edit. If there is a big yellow box like the following:

This page is currently under development by DEVELOPER NAME.
Please contact wiki@lassosoft.com to coordinate development efforts.

then don't edit it. Someone else is working on it.

If there is no big yellow warning, and you would like to "stake your claim" to edit the page, then do the following.

Copy the above warning snippet.
Browse to any page in the Lasso Documentation wiki (except the Home page).
Click the Edit button at the top of the page you want to edit.
Paste the snippet into the WYSIWYG editor to "stake your claim" to the page.
Click the "Save and Close" button. This sends notifications by email to all interested parties who are subscribed to or tracking the wiki page.
When you are done, delete the warning to remove your claim.
