Collaboration

Orchetree combines live editing signals with durable review history.

Presence and locks

Presence indicators show who is viewing a node. Prompt block edits use pessimistic locks to prevent two users from overwriting the same block. Locks expire automatically after five minutes if they are not released.

If a block is locked, wait for the current editor or work on another part of the tree. Do not bypass the lock through a lower-level API.

Comments

Node comments are role-attributed and timestamped. Use them for asynchronous domain review, implementation questions, and test follow-up without changing the executable prompt.

Prompt history

Every prompt block change records its author role, timestamp, and before/after content. Rolling back creates another history entry, preserving the audit trail instead of deleting later history.

Roles

Developer and business roles retain their normal ownership boundaries during collaboration. Presence does not grant permission to edit protected execution settings.

See Prompt blocks, Versions and rollback, and Roles and governance.
