Disallow simultaneous editing on the same app/module

Hi,

Context - 2 Developers working on the same app results in lost work

I'm requesting a "lock" that does not allow 2 devs to works on the same App in Retool's UI (Cloud version). This is very similar to the way Webflow handles simultaneous editing - it doesn't. If anybody is editing a webpage and a 2nd dev tries to edit it too, Webflow does not allow to go into edit mode. I'm aware of other feature requests for allowing simultaneous editing of the same application. That is a very hard problem to solve, and is not what I'm requesting here.

As far as I'm concerned this is a borderline-bug since without manual coordination between my devs, many hours of work can be lost. This just happened to us. We were very surprised to see one of our dev's work simply lost.

Thanks
