🤝 Collaboration

Typarr edits are collaborative in real time. When two or more people open the same file in a bucket, their changes are merged live and everyone works on the same document as it evolves.

How it works

Each open file is backed by a shared CRDT (conflict-free replicated data type) document synchronised over a WebSocket connection. Edits made by any participant are merged automatically — there is no “save to see other people’s changes” step and no manual conflict resolution. When the last participant closes the file, its content is flushed to disk.

Live editing is available to users with editor or committer access to a bucket; viewers open files as a read-only copy.

Presence

While others are editing the same file you see their cursors and selections inline, each labelled with the collaborator’s username. Every user is assigned a colour computed from their username, so the same person consistently appears in the same colour.

Connection handling

If the connection drops — for example when the server restarts — Typarr reconnects automatically and re-synchronises the document. Any edits you make while disconnected are preserved and replayed onto the latest server content once the connection is restored.
