I tried it every which way including the quick and slow ways into testing and closing configurator - even closing configurator did the same thing and didn't close because it couldn't update the bsv.
But I seem to have "fixed" the issue, I put it into testing and said don't update the bsv. Then I went to lock it again for editing - it threw a Java Heap error at me, and then said I could not lock it because admin(I was logged in as admin) had it locked. Closed configurator, opened it again, logged in as admin, went to the Business space, all is good, I have it locked and my last changes are still there...
bit of a concern, must have just been Java not happy? perhaps some input from support could be handy maybe I have something off in my config...
