  Check for Active Sessions: Verify if another user is currently editing the markdowns. If so, wait for them to finish and release the lock.
  Refresh the Session: If you suspect that your session is holding a lock, try logging out and logging back in to refresh your session.
  Communicate with Team Members: If you are working in a team, communicate with your colleagues to ensure that no one else is editing the markdowns at the same time.
  System Administration: If the issue persists, contact your SAP system administrator to check for any locks on the database or to see if there are any system-level issues that need to be addressed.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the system configuration allows for proper handling of concurrent edits, if applicable.
