He generates an image, moves a node, rewrites one line of a prompt, and your side changes right away — no refresh, and no such thing as his version and your version. This section is about what the result is when two people touch the same thing at once in DOTV: both editing the same node, the full-screen editors as the exception, undo and getting things back, and what happens after a disconnect.
Merging happens per field, not by overwriting the node as a whole:
So when you really do have to work on the same node together, splitting it out loud is enough: one of you takes the description, the other takes position and edges, and you stay out of each other's way.
See that tag and ask first. Saving in these three editors overwrites the whole document rather than merging word by word — you work in there for half an hour, he saves, you save after him, and his half hour is gone.
The video editor, the shot sheet and the previz stage are opened full screen and saved as a whole: each starts from the content as it stood the moment you opened it, and writes the entire document back when you save. Two people open the same one, and whoever saves last overwrites everything the first one saved.
The product does not stop you, but it does let you see it coming:
Reconnecting settles the accounts on its own: whatever others changed while you were away is filled in, and what you changed while offline still counts as yours. Not sure the copy in front of you is right? Refresh — what a refresh shows you is always the copy on the server.
