This very much depends upon the application. It is not really suitable to implement pessimistic locking via the web (as in getting an exclusive lock for the duration of the usage) so you need to implement some form of optimistic locking, only locking at save time and returning to the user for more instructions if the item has changed.
Whilst it is possible for the developer to encapsulate this logic this functionality is not provided out of the box.
