## 2. Which blocked action surprised you?

Answer: ____________________

## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Look for presence awareness.
2. Look for blocked action.
3. Look for recovery guidance.

Interpretation caution: Do not identify collaborators.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: Locks appear without explaining who can continue.

Action to test: Explain the permitted next editing step.

Follow-up: After the proposed change, ask relevant participants whether this original issue still occurs: Locks appear without explaining who can continue. Record what they experienced, including none or not applicable; changes in the sample do not establish causation.
