1. UserA attempts to modify a wall but receives an error dialog noting
that UserB currently owns the element (Figure 10.22).
2. UserA clicks the Place Request button in the dialog so UserB will be
notified (Figure 10.22).

3. While UserB is working in their local file, they receive a modal
Editing Request Received dialog indicating that UserA has requested
the wall element.
4. UserB clicks Grant, which will give editability to UserA for that wall
element only (Figure 10.23).

request
5. Lastly, UserA receives the confirmation dialog back that UserB has
granted permission to edit the wall element (Figure 10.24).
In this example, no further action is required from UserA; UserA can start
making modifications to the wall. The editing request serves as both a user
notification system and an automated method to swap element ownership.
