I've never heard that it wasn't necessary. And, I've never tried to
replace without locking first. This is a new one to me. And what does
OCLC consider "historical collections?"<br>

You’ve got the picture. Only … we don’t “lock” before we replace. Where
did I hear it discussed that it wasn’t necessary when cataloging
historical collections? <br>

Do you mean that you lock and replace a lower level (K, M, L) record,
upgrading it to I, then want to lock and replace it again to fix
something? If so, you will need enhance status to upgrade that I-level
record. <br><br>
Unless ... you have created the I-level record yourself <i>and there are
no other holdings on that record</i>. Then you can lock and replace the
record. But, once someone adds their holdings to that record, you have to
have enhance privileges, even for your own records.<br><br>

I'll just chime in as someone who was formerly at an institution that
<br>
was not an enhance library, as such you can upgrade both K and M <br>
records. Just fyi, for those who aren't enhance libraries.<br><br>
My two cents,<br>
