It would be great if Royal TS/Royal Server would handle edits to documents better when used by many people.
For example, if User A edits a document User B is not automatically notified or aware that a change has occured, and needs to trigger a manual reload of it.
Either an option to save for any edit with combination to read changes done on a configured interval, or an option that automatically saves and merges documents on a configured interval.
Thanks for the feedback — really appreciate it!
We’ve explored options for automatic reload/merge, but it’s more complex than it might seem and can introduce some undesirable side effects. For example, one user might remove or move an item while another user is actively connected to it. This could lead to unexpected UI updates or even force active connections to close.
To avoid that kind of disruption, we opted for a more controlled approach: a visual indicator (in the status bar) that lets users know when the document has changed. This way, users can decide when to reload updates, minimizing interference with their current work.
Thank you for the explanation. I guess it would work better with a source backed as a database instead of a file, I see and understand the limitations you are mentioning. Thanks for the quick reply!
