Thanks. It is now clear to me. And this is the problem at the same time: it is clear to me but it I am not sure I will be able to convince team members to expend time understanding it.

The template works great. But, could you figure out how to automatically introduce it at the top of the document/section to be edited when you hit the edit button and automatically remove it when hitting the Save one?

This will avoid to relly on the user action to copy/paste/remove the template to warn other users she/he is editing the concerning section.

Could it be a feature request?

Saludos!
