summary for non-techies**
Microsoft SharePoint is introducing a feature by July 2025 that allows multiple authors to edit Pages and News posts simultaneously, similar to Google Docs, with real-time visibility of changes and automatic saving, although simultaneous editing of the same web part is not supported.
Direct effects for Operations**
Coauthoring Conflicts
If multiple authors attempt to publish or post a page simultaneously, conflicts may arise, leading to confusion and potential loss of work. Users may not be aware of others' edits, resulting in overwritten content.
- roles: Content Authors, Project Managers

User Experience Degradation
The introduction of real-time coauthoring without proper training may lead to user frustration due to unexpected changes and the inability to edit the same web part simultaneously, impacting collaborative workflows.
