Bottom right part of the main cfgExplorer window is occupied by the transaction control panel:
This is probably the most inmportant part of the CfgExplorer and you should pay a lot of attention to what is displayed in this panel.
In the top row of the panel there is a label showing current status of transaction, it displays one of the "None", "Read", or "Update". Next to it are two buttons which can commit or abort current transaction. Below there is a database listing which shows status of each open database. For each subsystem it display status of both its numeric database and alias database, status can be either "read" or "update". This is the place to watch, because when you open database for reading someone else could have problems updating the same database, and when you are updating a database no one can even read it (this is 100% true for alias trees database, for numeric database collision probability may be smaller.)
Transactions could also be managed from the "Transactions" menu on the main menu bar. In addition to committing or aborting current trasacion it has a command to start update transaction.
