Message: <blockquote data-quote="chas_m" data-source="post: 1362383">The "lock" function you refer to only affects Apple applications such as Pages. It's actually a brilliant idea -- completely removes the risk of accidentally overwriting a file.Chances are, if you're re-opening a file you haven't edited in "X" number of weeks, this is likely to be what you actually want -- to make a new version (previously done with "Save As") using the old version as a template.That being the case, one simply duplicates then closes the old file. Using "save" now functions EXACTLY like "Save As" did, letting you rename the new version. It's one tiny extra step (clicking off the old version) but a lot more safety and file protection IMO.</blockquote>
