User Story

As a content editor, I want to be able to lock/unlock content while editing, so I can prevent concurrent modifications and maintain data integrity, with clear visual indicators of the content's locked status and who has locked it.

Acceptance Criteria

UI Requirements:

• Lock/unlock toggle switch must remain accessible when scrolling or switching tabs
• Toggle switch must have clear visual enabled and disabled states
• Control must remain visible at all times during content editing
• Display informative hint/hover text when control is disabled
• Show informational blue message bar when content is locked
• Layout Page must inherit lock state from UVE (Universal Visual Editor)
• All content must be in read-only state when locked
• Switch should appear enabled even when user lacks unlock permissions
• Send email notifications when content is unlocked by another user
• Display notification message when returning to previously locked content

Message Display Requirements:

• Show current lock status and owner
• Display appropriate message based on user permissions
• Show informative message about how to unlock content

Test Scenarios

Based on the user story provided:

1. Lock Content Scenario:

   • Rose locks Blue Lake Post
   • System shows "Locked by Rose" message
   • All content becomes read-only

2. Forgotten Lock Scenario:

   • Rose locks content, makes changes
   • Leaves content locked and goes on vacation
   • Marcie cannot edit content
   • Jayden (with permissions) unlocks content
   • Marcie can now edit content

3. Permission Handling:

   • User without permission tries to unlock content
   • System shows "You don't have permissions" message
   • Toggle remains visible but cannot be activated

QA Notes & Workarounds

Test considerations:

• Verify scroll behavior doesn't affect lock control visibility
• Test tab switching maintains lock status
• Verify read-only state of all form fields when locked
• Test permission-based scenarios
• Test all message variations
• Verify lock status persistence after page refresh
• Test accessibility of toggle switch and messages
• Verify hover/hint text functionality
