Feature request: Multi-edit warning

Hi!

When multiple people are working on a website, it is too easy to overwrite someone’s work when two people are at the same page for example.

Sometimes the page can even be open in another tab of the same browser by accident, potentially leading to saving an older version of the page.

Some kind of warning that the page is being edited elsewhere would be great!

Thanks!

Multi user real time editing would be even better :slight_smile:

Would be interesting. :slight_smile: But I don’t think it is possible at all. Cornerstone works locally in the browser. You can literally disconnect the Internet and still continue working with work.

Suppose that’s true. I’m sure they could build such functionality if they wanted to though. But there are more important features to work on before something like this should be considered. In the meantime your suggestion for a simple notice would be a nice improvement.

It’s been in our backlog for a while but not really made a priority, but WordPress does have a native way to determine who is “editing” a page. You can see this on the posts index in the backend. We would need to integrate our builders with that functionality for best results. That way you don’t override someones changes by doing a “quick edit” or other ways to alter post data.
