Best approach to handle multiple users from editing same item

[Anonymous]

Hi All, 

Trying to understand the best approach in handling multiple users from editing the same item at the same time.

I have a power apps linked to sharepoint which is being used my multiple users. There can be a possibility that 2 different users try to edit the same item at the same time. Is there a best way of handling this?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Probably use Patch instead of SubmitForm (where the user will get a conflict message), but if you are concerned about them editing the same field, set a Variable when the record is selected from the Gallery

Set(varRecord,ThisItem)

and then check before saving that varRecord.Modified is the same as looking up the current record Modified.

Hi @Anonymous ,

The best way to prevent multiple people from editing the same record is to make sure there wouldn't be multiple users need to edit the same record. For example, first level users would only see items those created by them but they are not allowed to edit, second level users could edit or delete only the records belonging to them (created by themselves or specific users group managed by them).
