I agree that we need a way of identifying conflicting concurrent editing.
A 'flag' or 'checkout' is usually how this is done.

Maybe Christian can shed some light on the native functions of
Silverstripe for checking out content to ensure these conflicts don't
occur and others cannot edit the same content at the same time.
I have never come across a CMS that is unable to do this, so I am sure
there will be some kind of native protection for concurrent editing.
