Quick Tip:

Globals and Record Locking
Global fields do not cause record-locking when they’re used in a multi-user scenario. In other words, you can click into a global field while someone else is clicked into the same or another global field on the same record. However, selecting a global field does cause record-locking for regular fields on the current record. If a guest is clicked into a global field, then nobody else on that same record can edit a regular field.
