Hello Retool Community,
We have several screens in Retool that are used for shared data entry, where multiple users may access and fill out the same screen at the same time.
We’d like to implement a feature that notifies users in real time when others are currently filling out the same screen (i.e., entering or modifying data), to warn them that their changes may be lost due to concurrent editing. This is about users entering data, not editing the Retool app itself.
Has anyone implemented real-time user presence or editing notifications in Retool? Are there built-in features, best practices, or recommended approaches (such as websockets, polling, etc.) for this use case? Any limitations or security considerations to be aware of?
Thanks in advance for your insights!
