-<p>Distributed Locking allows a <a href="../state_storage/">Remote State</a> to be shared among multiple users of the application to make writes appear atomic between sessions. To use it, simply set the  <code>locking:</code> parameter to <code>true</code> when enabling remote state.</p>
-<p>This is how locking works:</p>
-<ol>
-<li>The application attempts to acquire a lock on the remote state when you first access it</li>
-<li>If the backend is locked by a different application, wait and try again</li>
-<li>If it succeeds, the lock is held and refreshed periodically</li>
-<li>When the application exits, the lock is released</li>
-<li>If the application does not refresh its lock, or fails to release it when it exits, the lock will automatically expire within 60 seconds</li>
-<li>If another application steals the lock (unlikely but possible), and the application tries to save data, a <code>StandardError</code> will be thrown</li>
-<li>You can manually attempt to lock/unlock by calling <code>Rbcli.remote_state.lock</code> or <code>Rbcli.remote_state.unlock</code>, respectively. </li>
-</ol>
-<h2 id="manual-locking">Manual Locking</h2>
-<p>Remember: all state in Rbcli is lazy-loaded. Therefore, RBCli wll only attempt to lock the data when you first try to access it. If you need to make sure that the data is locked before executing a block of code, use:</p>
-<pre><code class="ruby">Rbcli.remote_state.refresh
-</code></pre>
+    </li>
-<p>to force the lock and retrieve the latest data. You can force an unlock by calling:</p>
-<pre><code class="ruby">Rbcli.remote_state.disconnect
-</code></pre>
-<p>Even if you do not want to store any data, you can leverage manual locking to control access to a different shared resource, such as a stateful API. For example, if you write a cloud deployment toolkit, you can ensure that only one user is attempting to modify a deployment at any given time.</p>
