Comment on text in manuscript editor like google docs#109

Hiya! I think it’d be lit if we could comment on text in the manuscript editor. Also, how does the manuscript editor handle simultaneous changes to the document? What happens if multiple people are working on the document at the same time? Thanks!

  1. Are you envisioning comments only being displayed on the AutoLit / Editor side of things, not Synthesis / Manuscript?
  2. Simultaneous / collaborative editing is a big gap currently. The edits would overwrite one another, with the last saved version ending up saved in the database. We absolutely need to add a warning or outright lock-out in the event of multiple editors. Also worth noting, our editor does make it possible to support collaborative editing, which we would preferrably add in the future :)

Hi Karl. Thanks for clarifying what would happen in the multiple editor scenarios. I will be sure to inform all of the NK team about this so that it doesn’t come as a surprise.

I was thinking of comments being displayed when you opened up the manuscript editor. What I had in mind was basically the same as google docs. Not sure if that helps visualize what I had in mind.
