Once you are finished editing a map in either the Assignments or Map Editor tabs, it is highly recommended that you click the Close button in the upper right corner. If you forget to close out of the map and exit Maptician, the map will remain locked and other users cannot access it. However, you can unlock maps that were previously locked by either yourself or other users.
