My team has observed that if two authors open the same document at the same time, make independent changes, and save, Prismic detects that there is a potential conflict and displays a warning before the second author saves the document. However, if the first person to finish their change saves AND P…

Hey @michael.haines , Thanks for flagging this! It sounds to me like a bug, so I'll submit an issue with our dev team. Could you let me know the repo or repos in which you've seen this behavior? (You can send me a DM if you want.) Sam

Thanks, @michael.haines . I got your DM, and I've submitted a ticket with the dev team. I'll let you know what they say :slight_smile: Sam

Is there any update to this bug? We are having the same issue of admins overwriting each others content - there's no alert if one person goes into a document and makes changes and someone else happens to at the same time. Thanks!

Hey @noel , Thanks for following up. I don't have an update, yet. I submitted a ticket with our dev team, and they prioritized it. I'll follow up with them on Monday and get back to you. Sam

Hey @noel and @michael.haines , We've discussed this internally, and this is what we came up with: Strictly speaking, this is expected behavior.

I would think the expected behavior would be if one editor is in a document and then another enters it there would be a notification and the option to either force the other our or to return to the previous location. Otherwise edits and drafts saved would be duplicate work.

Hey @noel , This is the kind of workflow we're starting to consider. I'll share your feedback with the team. (And feel to expand on this if you'd like!) Sam
