When working in one of the edit windows, such as when an Author is creating new content, you
should always click on the Cancel or Save buttons to exit the page. The reason for this is that
Joomla! locks the content while you are editing it, preventing other users such as Editors and
Publishers from accessing the content.
Exiting these edit windows improperly can mean the Item becomes ‘locked’ to others. Here are
just a few cases when this could occur:

Whatever the reason, not saving, or cancelling the transaction properly can lock users from
accessing the article later.
