How Do I Enable Collaborative Development?

You can create multiple user accounts to support collaborative development. In Huawei Cloud Astro Zero, all member accounts under the same account can view and collaborate on development projects. To prevent conflicts, a lock mechanism is used to isolate users during development.

For example, in flow development, the platform uses a lock mechanism to prevent multiple users from editing the same flow simultaneously. If user A opens and edits flow X, and user B also opens flow X, the editor for User B will automatically enter lock mode, allowing only one user to edit at a time.

• User A has the permission to edit flow X. After user A finishes editing, closing the editing page will automatically unlock it. You can also unlock the page by clicking .
  There are multiple scenarios where the editing interface for an element can be closed, such as exiting the element's editing interface, leaving the application designer, or closing the application designer's browser page.

• When user A locks flow X, user B's operations on flow X are restricted to read-only mode, and user B's editor page displays: "This resource name has been locked by user A, click here to forcefully get edit authority." If user B clicks to forcibly take edit permission, user A's flow X editor page will automatically lock, and a message will indicate that the resource is now locked by user B.

  If an element is locked and you cannot contact the person who locked it, you can forcibly release the lock from the UI.

  1. In the navigation pane, choose Code Management > Unlock Resources.
  2. In the locked element list, select an element and click next to the element.
