    After you perform collaborative authorization, the data work that is created can be updated by multiple users at the same time, but only one user can save the data work. When multiple users edit the dashboard at the same time, the users must comply with the lock mechanism.

      In this case, if User B edits the dashboard, the data that User A modified is not overwritten.

    • If User A is disconnected from the network or does not edit and save the dashboard within 3 hours, User B can open the dashboard without the need to obtain a lock on the dashboard.

      In this case, if User B edits the dashboard, the data that User A modified is overwritten.

    • If User A is editing the dashboard and User B also wants to edit the dashboard, User B must obtain a lock on the dashboard.

      • If User A has saved the dashboard but does not exit the dashboard when User B tries to obtain a lock on the dashboard, the operation is successful.

        In this case, if User B edits the dashboard, the data that User A modified is not overwritten.

      • If User A is editing the dashboard and does not save the dashboard when User B tries to obtain a lock on the dashboard, User B can determine whether to synchronize the latest changes that User A modified on the dashboard.

        • If User B chooses to synchronize the latest changes that User A modified on the dashboard, the system saves the changes that User A modified after User B obtains a lock on the dashboard.

        • If User B chooses to ignore the latest changes that User A modified on the dashboard, the system saves the changes that User B modified after User B obtains a lock on the dashboard.

        After User B locks the dashboard, User A can continue to edit the dashboard and save the dashboard as a new dashboard. User A can also obtain a lock on the dashboard again after communication with User B.
