    Default Says it's Reviewing Draft that Doesn't Exist???

    I have a test site that I've been using with my trial version of Contribute 3,
    and I've run into a strange problem a few times (including now). When I
    'browse' to the home page, or open the home page when initially opening
    Contribute, I receive this message: 'You can't edit this page because other
    users are reviewing a draft of this page.' This is impossible because there
    are only 2 of us with the trial version, and neither one of us are
    reviewing'this page. I even made sure to look under 'Draft Console' on both of
    our machines, but this page shows up in the 'Sent Drafts' list as published,
    and not the 'Drafts I'm Editing' or 'Drafts to Review' list. I'm utterly
    confused on why this is happening. If this has happened to anyone else, whether
    or not they know of a solution, please let me know. If someone does have a
    solution, that's of course also appreciated. Hoping to get a quick response, I
    thank you for any and all help in advance.

    I have come across this a couple of times. Have the user who has the file 'locked' create a draft and publish it. The lock will go away.

    Actually, there were no other users testing it out, so I knew that couldn't be
    the problem. It ended up being an issue of me having to go into the user's
    individual roles, and resetting the "home page" to the new URL. Once I did
    that, it worked fine.

    But unfortunately that's all a mute point now, because Contribute can't work
    with the new version of the site that I'm creating with almost all dynamic
    data. Too bad.
