Sequence Locking for offline editing

Learn about managing sequence locking for seamless offline editing, ensuring conflict-free video editing collaboration using Team Projects.

When you lose Internet connectivity and go offline while editing a sequence in Team Projects, apart from the connectivity status visual cues, your project panel will also show the disconnected asset status. Sequence Locking also gets disabled, and another collaborator can lock the sequence and start editing the sequence.

You can still continue to work in disconnected status, but you cannot publish your changes, and all your edits are saved locally in a duplicate sequence. When the connection is restored, based on the possibility of a conflict, you'll be notified of further actions for the project.

• No conflicts: When you reconnect to the internet after working offline, and no one else has edited the sequence, you'll have the option to update the changes you made while offline and continue editing the sequence.
• Conflict: When you were offline and editing a sequence that had no lock, if another collaborator also edits the same sequence simultaneously, upon reconnecting to the internet, you will receive a notification alerting you of a conflict. You can use the Duplicate option to duplicate the sequence to keep working on your unpublished changes.

In the event that multiple collaborators (two or more collaborators) edit the same sequence offline, when they come back online, only the first user to reconnect will have the option to publish their changes to the contentious sequence. Other collaborators will be warned of the conflict once they reconnect to the internet, and their work will be automatically saved to a new sequence.
