Hello everybody,
I found that in LyX there is a very useful option which allows tracking of the
changes made to document and their display in the produced pdf.
I wonder if it is possible in some way to merge changes made by different
people *simultaneously* ?
Example situation: user_1 writes the text and sends it to user_2 and user_3;
they both simultaneously make changes and return their corrections to user_1.
I wonder if user_1 could merge changes made in both versions and
simultaneously see the corrections suggested by user_2 and user_3 ???
With best regards,
Marat
Hi,
The simple answer is: it is not possible. Your users would have to edit
the file in sequence.
To have multiple users work on the same document simultaneously, you
would have to sync the files on each computers regularly, to ensure
there is never any conflict (two users editing the same sentence).
Problem is that when the file is edited on disk, it does not update
automatically in the LyX window. You need to force the update by using
File > Revert to saved.
To avoid conflicts you can have different files for different sections
of your document, and have each user work on different files.
