Lock Questions and Answers Being Edited
-
Sometimes we face an error when we try to edit an answer given using Improve Answer. A big black screen pops up and says Administrator has been notified of the error. I have faced this issue mostly while editing an answer posted by someother user. My suggestion here would be, lets show a message to users that "This answer/solution is being edited and locked by 'UserName'. Please wait until the lock is released.", and do not show edit answer button. We have this present for Questions, could this functionality be made available for Answers too?
Thanks & Regards, Vani Kulkarni

Compared to question editing frequency, based on what I see, answers rarely need an editing. (Most of the times they are properly formatted and do not need an update from other member.) I am sure feature could be provided by Chris & team but is that really needed? For me, I have never faced any issue if I have to update an answer (rarely I find a need!)
