Configure Product and Content Locking

Define the time (in minutes) for when products or content are locked while editing. During this time, other users can't edit the product record or content asset. The lock (applied before product editing) is released after this time.

If you lock a base product, Business Manager automatically locks the related variation products, unless locked by another user. This technique reduces the number of clicks you must make when editing a variation. When you unlock a base product, its variation products are also unlocked, unless locked by another user.

Select site > Merchant Tools > Site Preferences > Locking.
On the Locking Preference page, specify in minutes how long you want a product record to be locked by default.
Specify in minutes how long you want a content asset to be locked by default.
If you specify 0, content asset locking is disabled for the site.
Click Apply to make changes or click Reset to revert to system default of 60 minutes.

You can lock a product if you have full permission or restricted permission (permission restricted to the storefront catalog of the currently selected site). The permission is independent from the selected locale.

You can't lock a product when you have no permission at all.
