There's nothing out-of-the-box for this I'm afraid. Might be worth a search on the package repository as I'm sure I've seen a package for this - the name escapes me however.
Older versions of Umbraco used to have this as a feature, but it's no longer in Umbraco. Probably because it's a rather old-fashioned way of doing things and often results in more issues than it solves (ie. editor locks document for editing, forgets, document locked in perpetuity).
Umbraco deals with this with versioning. So if Editor A and Editor B are editing the same document and then A published then B published a little later, then the last publish wins (ie. B). But Umbraco stores the version history, so editor's A's content isn't lost and can be rolled-back.
You can also use permissions to limit certain sections to just one user, so only Editor B can access certain pages.
In practice, having built dozens of Umbraco sites, I've never seen an issue arising out of this. But I have had issues in older CMSs that do locking where people can't edit a document in an emergency because someone has had it locked and left it.
Does Umbraco 7.7 support concurrent users?
Say, we have multiple users editing same document in parallel. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
For example, disabling the document from being editing if there's already another editor changes content.
