 Explanation
 -----------
 The lock versions setting is intended to modify the way djangocms-versioning works in the following way:
 
- - A version is **locked to its author** when a draft is created.
- - The lock prevents editing of the draft by anyone other than the author.
- - That version becomes automatically unlocked again once it is published.
- - Locks can be removed by a user with the correct permission (``delete_versionlock``)
- - Unlocking an item sends an email notification to the author to which it was locked.
- - Manually unlocking a version does not lock it to the unlocking user, nor does it change the author.
- - The Version admin view for each versioned content-type shows lock icons and offers unlock actions

+Accessing content model objects
+-------------------------------
+
+Versioned content model objects have a customized ``objects`` manager which by
+default only creates querysets that return published versions of the content
+object. This will ensure that only published objects are visible to the public.
+
+In some situations, namely when working in the admin, it is helpful to also have
+other content objects available, e.g. when linking to a not-yet-published object.
+
+Versioned objects therefore also have an additional manager ``admin_manager``
+which can access all objects. To get all draft blog posts, you can write
+``PostContent.admin_manager.filter(versions__state=DRAFT)``. Since the
+``admin_manager`` has access to non-public information it should only be
+used inside the Django admin (hence its name).
+
+
 Implement a custom copy function
 ---------------------------------
 Whilst simple model structures should be fine using the `default_copy` function,
