Server workspaces vs local workspaces, maybe? With server, your local copy was marked read-only. Don’t recall if you could change that flag to edit anyway. We moved to local workspaces as Quickly as we could - that was a more typical offline edit, resolve conflicts at commit model. Don’t remember all the details, been 5+ years since I did anything with TFS.

Yes, “tf edit” would mark on the server that you were opening the file for editing, and cleared the read-only bit, but it didn’t lock the file for others or prevent concurrent edits in any way.
