===Enhanced Record Lock Feature Added when Modifying Contacts and Companies===
The Record Lock feature gives the first person to access a record in Edit mode exclusive access to the record so that others cannot edit it until released. This enhancement extends the Record Lock functionality to include Contacts and Organizations and eliminates the possibility of two users concurrently editing these records.
<!--This optional feature locks a contact and company record when in edit mode. This eliminates any possibility of two users from modifying the same record at the same time. It is possible that two people could attempt to edit the same record at the same time. This scenario is not ideal as it could lead to data loss. This enhancement extends the existing record lock feature to include contacts and company records eliminating the possibility of two people editing the same record record simultaneously. This feature is optional and can be turned on and off from within Global Settings -> Organizations & Users -> Enable Record Lock (found under their corresponding section for companies/users)
