Description

Hi,

regarding https://github.com/ACTom/files_mindmap/issues/25 - it seems, that when two persons are working on the same file, the changes from the latter saving are the one present. The editor does not get warned about opened two times nor see the changes from the other person.

Is a collaborative editing (like collabora) planned?
Regards,

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how the browser editor opens and saves a mind map, then determine how concurrent edits should be handled. Done would require preventing silent overwrites and warning users or showing other changes, with the collaborative-editing scope agreed first.
