[bug]: Keeping page open overwrites changes from other team member

[StefanFabian]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

When I forget to close a page, and someone else modifies it, my open page will overwrite these changes at some point, and there is no way of restoring it.
In 2024, if not live collaboration, I expect it to merge changes or print a warning and not just overwrite.
Thank you for your work on this, we are using it to manage the tasks in our student team and we like it a lot.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Page
2. Have someone else open it, modify it and close it again
3. Still have the page open
4. Changes by the other person are overwritten

Environment

Production

Browser

Variant

Hi @StefanFabian Thanks for reporting this issue—we're actively investigating it. It seems like this could be a rare edge case where the second user made changes and closed the page within the 10-second auto-save window. Rest assured, real-time pages are coming soon to Plane.

Thank you for the quick reply!
Might also be relevant that I had put my PC to sleep and the page was still open when it resumed.

Thanks for sharing @StefanFabian it will help us to debug better.

Hey @StefanFabian, we heard you. Lossless realtime collaboration will be made live with our upcoming release soon. It was recently merged with #5493.
