Managing multiple authors on one project
Posted: Sun May 06, 2018 8:23 pm
Hi all,
I'm just wondering how people manage multiple authors working on a single project at the same time using source control?
Many years ago I was at a company that tried this, and it wasn't a good experience, partly because the merge tool didn't seem to handle the html very well, and partly because the merge tool was pretty confusing for the tech writers.
Have the tools improved or become more user friendly?
Oh, and I seem to remember there was something about files that are marked as changes that are completely irrelevant, i.e. they seemed to change just by looking at a file? (I'm not sure, it was ages ago, but I remember it being super frustrating.
I'd welcome any thoughts you have about multiple authors working on a single project.
Thanks in advance!
