We didn't need to. We assigned people subassemblies to work on, and they worked on them. We had frequent enough communication to make it work.

It's possible to lock but I don't trust the members to have enough forethought or memory to do it right and depend on it.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, it does have one caveat. When you finish uploading or downloading, a green popup appears in teh bottom of the screen that you can only get rid of by going to the GrabCAD Desktop App and getting rid of the notification message there, after which the popup will disappear after a few seconds. It's annoying when I want to view the time or something.
