Co-Authoring Issue

Hi everyone,
Recently one of team-member had enabled the co-authoring feature in one of my application to enable parallel development (more than one user can work). And it was working fine for past two days until yesterday when one of my colleague who was working on the same application tried logging in to the application (entered the git username and the token key that was generated for the git repository) a pop-up box was displayed saying: " There was an error opening the app", so he tried again and then the app was opened but there was no screen that were built till that date and no data sources, all the progress was lost. When he checked in the git hub repository  all the commits were done and checked the versioning could also see the commits performed by which user.
We tried to restore the power apps to one of the previous versions (for that day) but it was displaying the blank screen, the only version that had data and the screens was the development done 2 days back (which is Monday) and the progress from Tuesday and Wednesday (till afternoon) was not available.


So I had some questions:
1. What is the root cause for this issue?.

2. Are there any alternatives to enable multiple developers working on the same application other than Git Integration?.
3. What are the do's and dont's one should take care of when using the co-authoring feature (as it is still in experimental feature) to avoid such incidents?. And if any data loss does happen how to restore to the latest previous version?.
4. Is it possible to restore the lost data by restoring the git hub repository to a previous version and then trying to sync back from Power Apps?.

These are some of my queries, if anyone has faced similar issue please reply back to this post as its quite important when working on projects and if this keeps repeating it will lead to more burden of work (just to redo the previous work). If you have any insights for this problem please let me know.

There was similar issue that I found out: Similar Issue (in this Co-Authoring is not enabled I guess but the blank screen that I am talking about is there)

Regards,
Sidhant.

Hello Sidhant ,

 

I am also facing the same problem , 
I got one popup page , as soon as I entered my credentials (git hub credentials)
all the changes that I have did for the day has vanished.

Before that popup appears  I was able to see my changes but later on all the changes were gone (which I made)

Today after making few changes to the app, I saved it with Version Notes which were not getting reflected in the version history which was strange and when I tried publishing the application, did get this:

So I tried again by clicking on the Publish icon but again the version save was not reflected and as the app is shared @vaishnavidevkar who is my colleague was working on the same app her changes were been shown in the app history. So after some time when I edited the app all my changes for the current day and some of the changes made last week (on Friday) were gone.

Like in my case the Home page had 2 cards but now I can only see the image and the text label of the card. I need some help for this as it is creating problems while development.

Changes made on Monday morning (today):

I had saved these changes but now these are lost.

Hi  Sidhant,
I am also facing the same issue while working with GIT repository.
This is happened when I tried to save my changes to the GIT. 
While commit to the GIT it shows me a popup that changes were not able to save and it asks me to save as local.
Then I went back and tried to login again to the App with GIT credentials.
After that it shows me a blank application with no data.
Any one have the solution for this issue please try to respond, because it is necessary for us to work with GIT repository.
