Dashboards or piece of dashboard lost during collaborative work on a project
Does someone had this problem ? :
When editing a tile or a graph in a dashboard if 2 teammembers edit in the same time the same graph , the graph is lost (question why such a situation is possible ? in most collaborative tools there is a blocking mechanism to avoid that) but even a dashboard which has been edited and saved by someone , another person edits later and save it seems (not 100% sure ! ) that the work of the first one is lost
Is there a process which can be setup in order to save the work and avoid these losses (like only one person should access and edit or one person creates a dashboard another one create a second dashboard in the same project ?)
Operating system used: Mac OS and Windows

Unfortunately Dataiku's collaboration capability does not allow for multiple users to be writting to the same object at the same time. While some other tools do it that's not trivial to do. Dataiku uses a LWW (Last-Write-Wins) approach and that is based on the state of the object as it was loaded into the page when user opened the object. The best you get is a notification that someone else is view/editing the same object. Simply try to avoid working on the same object at the same time and refresh an object view if you kept it open for a while. Feel free to raise with Support, the more people complain the better change they might improve the experience in this area.
