When two people edit the same roadmap, someone's changes can get lost. This is especially painful for async teams where edits happen hours apart.
EasyRoadmap now includes automatic sync checking and conflict resolution. The goal: no surprises, no lost work.
When conflicts happen
Two people editing at once
Alice updates a task status while Bob adds a new card. Without sync, one person's changes could overwrite the other's.
Editing across devices
You start on your laptop, continue on your phone. The system detects which version is newer and warns before overwriting.
Left a tab open overnight
Your teammate updated the roadmap. When you return, you see a "Cloud updated" warning instead of blindly overwriting their work.
Network interruptions
Offline edits stay local. When you reconnect, the system checks if someone else saved in the meantime.
How EasyRoadmap handles it
Automatic sync checking
Every 30 seconds (and when you return to the tab), EasyRoadmap checks if the cloud version has changed.
Conflict detection
If someone else saved changes while you were editing, you'll see a clear warning before saving.
View Conflict Details
See a side-by-side comparison: what you changed locally vs. what changed in the cloud.
Three resolution options
Keep your version (overwrite cloud), keep cloud version (discard local), or save as a new workspace (preserve both).
Conflict resolution options
When a conflict is detected, you choose how to resolve it. No automatic merging that might corrupt your data.
Keep local
Your changes overwrite the cloud version
Keep cloud
Load the cloud version, discard local changes
Save as new
Create a new workspace with your changes
Technical details
- Sync interval: 30 seconds + immediate check when you return to the tab
- Tolerance: 5-second window to avoid false positives from clock differences
- Hash comparison: Content hash detects if you have unsaved local changes
- No auto-merge: Roadmaps are too important to merge automatically. You always decide.
Best practices for teams
- One person owns weekly updates: Designate someone to consolidate status changes
- Use comments for context: Leave notes explaining changes so teammates understand
- Check the status pill: The header shows "Cloud newer" if someone else saved
- Save frequently: Small, frequent saves reduce conflict size
Try it
Open a cloud workspace, make some edits, then open the same workspace in another browser. Make conflicting edits and save from the second browser. When you try to save from the first, you'll see the conflict resolution UI.
