edited Oct 10 '17, 1:49 p.m. by David Lafreniere (4.8k●7) In RTC 4.0.4 I can lock a file to prevent other users from editing the same file. The documentation says that a "A resource that you have locked is displayed as an incoming pending change to other users." Unfortunately the Pending Changes window doesn't show anything for other users after I lock a file.

Accepted answer
This request has been made possible by the delivery of the 'Pessimistic Locking' feature in RTC 5.0.2.
Note: There are some limitations if editing files outside of the RTC rich clients.
For more information on this feature see:
