Team Conflict Management

If multiple team members are working on a project at the same time, it can sometimes happen that two individuals edit the same reference at the same time (e.g. the same quotation or task). This can lead to conflicts. Citavi solves such conflicts by adhering to the principle that "the most recent wins."

Conflicts can only occur at the field level. For example, if a user changes the edition number of a particular reference from 2 to 3 and another user is also making changes to the Edition field of the same reference, the changes from the user who leaves the field last are saved.
