Research direction

Start with the v6 model configuration documentation and compare it with the linked v5 models-definition configuration section. Check the existing optimistic-locking page for terminology and links, then add the missing version-property configuration example so readers can implement optimistic locking from the model configuration docs.

Description

Issue Description

There is no example of optimistic locking in the documentation.

What was unclear/insufficient/not covered in the documentation

There isn't really any documentation about using the version property to enable optimistic locking. There's a page on optimistic locking that links to the model configuration page. However, the model configuration page doesn't actually contain any details about how to implement optimistic locking in your sequelize schema. This used to be documented in v5 but it seems like after the docs were restructured this was thrown out.

If possible: Provide some suggestion on how we can enhance the docs

Add in the information for configuring optimistic locking back in to the model configuration docs.
