I want multiple users to edit same document. Problem I'm facing is when a new user joins, he might see an outdated document. How do I make sure that new users get most recent changes?

Some solutions I thought of:

  • Save on every change. I don't like this solution because it will slow things down on UI and put load on db.

  • When new user joins, trigger save on all other clients. After other clients saved, load document. With this there can be inconsistency still.

Any other suggestions would be helpful.
