In the beginning the interface would often open without any actual reason.
This seems to have gotten a lot better now and the tool has been very helpful to me many times.
I often keep an editor box open for several days and work on the content while in the meantime other editors save changes to the article as well.
The tool does not seem to realize this every time and often will not open.
This leads to two obvious questions which are not answered on the Help page:
- How does the tool figure out whether an edit conflict might be about to happen? Does it actually know that a new version of the article was saved by another editor while I was typing in the editor box on my computer?
- Would it be possible to force the interface to open when I already know that the source text was changed while I was intermittently editing the text in my browser over a longer period? many thanks, ~~~~
