Collaborating on a Wiki - What happens?

Follow
Answered
Josh Kaplan

Let's say two students are both working on the same Wiki.

 

Student 1 clicks edit on the home page and starts making edits. 

While that's happening, student 2 clicks edit and also starts editing the home page.

Then, student 1 clicks save.

Finally, student 2 clicks save.

Questions:

What will be the result?

Will Student 2's edits be lost?

Will Student 1's edits be lost?

Will the changes be merged somehow?

 

Thanks

Hello Josh,

The student that saves last will override the changes, so in your example student 1's changes will be overridden by student 2 but will still show in the history of the wiki page.
