  The SAP error message EIT_IMPORT_UI_TEXT025 indicates that a specific template (identified by the placeholders &1 and &2) is currently being edited by another user (identified by &3). This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same template simultaneously, leading to a conflict.

  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait until the other user has finished editing the template. You can try to access it again after some time.
  Contact the User: If you know who is editing the template, you can reach out to them and ask if they can finish their work or save and exit the template.
  Check for Locks: If you have administrative access, you can check the system for active locks on the template and see if you can release the lock if appropriate.
  Use a Different Template: If your work allows it, consider using a different template that is not currently being edited.
  System Settings: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth discussing with your SAP administrator to review the system settings regarding template editing and locking mechanisms.
