How to Handle Simultaneous Editing in Dynamicweb10 PIM?

We’re running into a challenge with our current setup in Dynamicweb10 PIM. Our client uses workflows and workflow states, but this isn’t sufficient for their needs because multiple departments often work on the same product at the same time. When two people edit different fields of the same product simultaneously and save, one person’s changes can overwrite the other’s, causing data loss.

 

Ideally, we want Dynamicweb10 to either:

  • Instantly update the data for everyone who has the product open when someone saves, or
  • Show a pop-up warning if someone else is editing the same product at the same time.

 

Does anyone have experience solving this in Dynamicweb10? Are there built-in features, best practices, or custom solutions to prevent overwriting each other’s changes when working simultaneously on the same product?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Davy

Thanks for the question/observation.

DW10 does not handle simultaneous editing and potential save conflicts. When a user saves in DW10, the whole object is saved.

We do not have a solution for this scenario in our H1 2026 roadmap, but I will add it to the backlog with your suggestions included.
