Dylan,

I don't know how it is implemented but there is versioning built in for
editing of pages.  If one person is editing a page - it is not possible for
someone else to edit it.  Click on the Admin menu and scroll down to the
bottom of the page - you will see a section called 'Custody'.

Find out more about Custody here:

All the best,
Jim
