 * Hi,
 * I see we can edit the same pos at the same time with different authors.
    In the
   backend we usually get notification when someone trying to edit the post which
   being edited by someone else.
 * Can we have a warning/protection for the same case when users edit the post in
   frontend at same time??
 * Thanks

 * I’m going to try it, do you mean the 2 user’s with roles of “author” can edit
   from the front end at the same time? or are they both admins?

 * Waw thanks. The 2 users can both authors, editors or administrator.
    They all
   have edit post capabilities.

 * I thought authors could only edit their own? no?
    Anyway I have to test this 
   myself, thanks for the heads up on the issue.

 * Yes indeed, authors can only edit their own posts.
    The case can happen with 
   this possibility :
 * – author edit their post also editor / administrator
    – editor edit the post 
   also the administrator
