Disable item lock

I was asked to disable the ability for users to "block" an element.

They can do this in the Content Editor (Browse> Edit). But it looks like this can also happen when users use the Page Editor.

Is there any way to disable this?

As far as I can see, it is disabled in web.config:

<setting name="AutomaticLockOnSave" value="false"/> <setting name="AutomaticUnlockOnSaved" value="true"/> <setting name="KeepLockAfterSaveForAdminUsers" value="false"/> <setting name="RequireLockBeforeEditing" value="false"/> <setting name="UnlockAfterCopy" value="true"/>

But if a user has blocked an element in Sitecore, a user using the page editor cannot edit the element because it is blocked. It says:

 You cannot edit the current item because it is locked by: <username>

Is there a way to completely disable this feature?

Best wishes,

Christian Willumsen

I do not have a direct answer to this question, but since you are confusing for now, I will give you my initial reaction ... do not try to disable it, just simplify it to unlock the workflow.

If you apply a simple one-step workflow to your content, Sitecore will still automatically block the content when it is running on it, but with a one-click workflow step, your user can unlock the content item and even publish it.

Lock exists for some reason. This annoys users, but the workflow can make it less annoying.
