<p class="MsoNormal">I had some questions regarding Sharepoint that I was hoping you could help me with. One of my jobs is dealing with documents and revision control at Jefferson Lab. We are having problems where people do not check out or lock documents when
revising them, leading to other employees overwriting the document and creating multiple versions. We also have people who forget to unlock documents when they’re done, leaving the documents unusable by others. This is an ongoing issue we are already facing
and addressing and are not inherent to sharepoint. As we are looking at using Sharepoint more and more, I thought it would be prudent to reach out and ask the expert what we could do to put a stop to this sharepoint-side before it also becomes an issue. Are
there any setting, practices, or anything else you would suggest?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your time,<o:p></o:p></p>
