Version Control
Multiple users can edit the same document at the same time.
However, an Edit icon displays next to the document during editing sessions to let other users know edits are in progress, and to deter them from making major changes (such as deleting the document, uploading a new version, or changing the file name) during this time.
Clicking the icon displays the names of users who are editing the document.
