Concurrent Access
It is possible for more than one user to have the same worksheet open at the same time. When that happens, notifications will appear at the bottom:
- When a worksheet is already open, each additional user who opens the same worksheet will see the concurrent access notification as soon as they open the worksheet.
- The software checks for concurrent access every five minutes. If this check discovers that another user has opened the worksheet, the user who opened the worksheet first will see the concurrent access notification at that time.
- When multiple users have the same worksheet open and any of those users tries to save the worksheet, the concurrent access notification will appear.
Hovering your cursor over the message will reveal an X on the right-side that will allow you to dismiss the alert.
If 2 users are simultaneously making changes to the study, only the changes saved most recently will be reflected. In other words, any changes made by the first user viewing the worksheet will be overwritten when the second user saves their changes.
