Tips+&+How-Tos

=My students are editing the same page at the same time and some changes are lost. Do you have any advice?= If two people edit the same page at the same time, we will keep track of both sets of changes. Your students will be notified if someone else is editing the page at the same time. If there are no conflicts in the students' changes, both sets of edits will be seamlessly merged into the page. If the changes do conflict, the following will happen:
 * 1) When the first user saves his changes, the second user will receive a notification of this and will be able to view the changes.
 * 2) The second user can view the changes to remove the conflict if she chooses.
 * 3) If there is still a conflict when the second user saves the page, she will be notified that she is about to overwrite the first user's changes. She will have the option to continue or cancel.

If either student's edits are incorrectly overwritten, they can find their work or revert to an earlier version of the page on the **History** tab. If you still have problems, email us at help@wikispaces.com
