Whilst multiple users can be logged into the Releasd Control Panel simultaneously, only one person can edit a report at a time.
We wanted to explain why this is the case.
For context: there any many actions that can be taken in the Report Builder, including
Drag, drop and resize a new widget
Drag, drop and resize an existing widget
Open a widget
Add content to a widget
Edit content within a widget (coverage, analytics, text, images etc)
Delete content within a widget
Delete a widget
Allowing multiple users to edit a report at the same time inevitably leads to conflicts. To name just a few:
Multiple users rearranging widgets across a report at the same time
One user deletes coverage whilst another is editing it
Two users editing copy in the Text widget at the same time
Adding/deleting Brand Keywords in the Charts and Graphs widget simultaneously
There are many more potential issues that arise when allowing multiple users into the Builder.
These put the stability and integrity of the report at risk, whilst the users themselves are often left confused and a little frustrated.
Instead, if a user is in the Builder, a notice is shown that includes the name of the person currently editing it. Once that person has completed their work, the Builder will load.
