Locking a clause
The Online Collaborative Authoring has been designed so that multiple people can edit the same document at the same time without getting in each other's way.
This means that no one else can edit the clause at the same time, and other users will see (in read-only mode) the clause as it was before you started editing it.
Clauses locked by others
