title: Disable items getting locked
body: <p>I've been asked to turn off the posibility for users to "lock" an item.</p>
  
  <p>They can do this in the Content Editor (Review > Edit). But it seems it can also happen, when users are using the "Page Editor".</p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to turn this off?</p>
  
  <p>As far as I can see it's turned off in the web.config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;setting name="AutomaticLockOnSave" value="false"/&gt;
  &lt;setting name="AutomaticUnlockOnSaved" value="true"/&gt;
  &lt;setting name="KeepLockAfterSaveForAdminUsers" value="false"/&gt;
  &lt;setting name="RequireLockBeforeEditing" value="false"/&gt;
  &lt;setting name="UnlockAfterCopy" value="true"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But if a user has locked an item in Sitecore, a user using the Page Editor can't edit the item, as it is locked. It says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>You cannot edit the current item because it is locked by: &lt;username&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to disable this feature completely?</p>
  
  <p>Best regards, </p>
