-===== CloudEdit FAQ's =====+===== Locking ===== 
 + 
 +When a file is opened and locked through Windows CloudEdit and then subsequently closed without having been saved, how long the lock will be held depends on a couple of settings. If the Tools were packaged with the automatic lock time of one hour enabled then the lock will expire an hour after the file was opened.  If that option was not enabled then Access Anywhere's default lock duration, usually 24 hours, will be applied. 
 + 
 +When a file has been opened and locked with Mac CloudEdit, the lock is released when the file is closed.
