When a component is locked, what does this mean for other team members?

When a component is locked, it means that other team members can view the component but are restricted from making any edits. This functionality is crucial in collaborative environments, as it ensures that while one member is working on a component—perhaps to make significant changes or to test it—others can still access and review that component without the risk of conflicting modifications.

The ability to view but not edit allows for transparency within the team, as everyone can see the current state of the component, understand ongoing changes, and maintain communication regarding the development process. This feature helps prevent overwriting work or causing disruption in collaborative tasks, ensuring a smoother workflow and higher quality outcomes in the development process.
