Multi-User Access to Layout File
-
I ran into a strange situation where another user on our local network had a Layout file open and was actively working on it and not knowing she had it open, I also opened it and started working. No warning came up that another user had this file open and I was actually using it as read-only. I worked for ~30 minutes in the file, saving multiple times (so I thought), then closed it. We finally figured out that we both somehow had it open. Needless to say all my changes were not made.
Is this a bug that other people have experienced? We are both using Version 18.0.16975.

If it opened as a Read Only file, I wouldn't consider this a bug in the program. Did you get the message that it was opening as Read Only?

No I didn't get a message that it was read only, which is the concerning part. It allowed me to open and proceed as if I had the only instance open.
