Description

Hi, this tool integrated in Nextcloud naturally allows you to share mindmaps between several people. If the write permission is set, each person can edit the mindmap at the same time. This is where data loss problems can occur if different users make changes in parallel.

There does not seem to be a lock system to avoid this type of problem. Here are some ideas to solve the problem more or less well:

  • be notified that another user is modifying the document
  • block writing to the first editor with this right, the others cannot save their possible modification
  • have frequent automatic recharging for users
  • be able to ask/give a hand to one of the collaborators
  • be able to work in parallel on the document, the lock can be at a node or branch

Many thanks for this great tool. LD.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Nextcloud sharing and mindmap save/edit flows, then establish how simultaneous edits are currently handled; done should include a defined and tested way to prevent or manage data loss during parallel collaboration.
