Warning when multiple users edit the same post

[ggassmann]

Is there a way to limit one person having access to a story/article/page in Ghost at a time?

Several times two people will be working on a single blog/page unbeknownst to one another. Only one person gets to save their work. The other person? SOL.
If we cannot limit access to a page/blog to one person at a time, a warning message/banner would also be helpful. Something along the lines of “Someone is already editing. Any changes you make will not be saved.”

In case you couldn’t tell, I just lost a lot of work.

Thanks/

Personally, I’d love to see a few things here.

I don’t know of a solution available today offhand.

1. Ability to lock a post when someone is editing it
2. Ability for multiple people to share the editing experience (a la Google Docs)
3. Ability to atomize content using the snippets feature, to edit a snippet, and to filter snippets

Where is Ghost support staff? How come there has been no answer to this in over 6 months?

Bumping this item. Does the Ghost team have any plans for creating solution, simple or complex for multiple users editing the same post. Even a simple warning to the users after the original user that pops up in the browser would be tremendously useful. Especially as Ghost as an application continues to grow and get used by more people. My org has multiple content creators who work in a fast paced collaborative environment. More robust functionality for multiple users on a post would be very helpful. Drupal for example has a simple lock. It could be a pain, but provided a clear message that another user could not work on the post. Thoughts?

This is built in. When multiple users edit a post at the same time, a warning is shown on top, indicating that another user is editing the post as well, and saving is not possible.
