How edits in Dermi Atlas save as they are made and appear on every device and colleague holding the same record, and how presence shows who else is working there.
Every edit to an entry, an Image Pool, a full body session, a zone, or a lesion in Dermi Atlas is saved as it is made and appears in every other session holding the same record, whether that session is the same account on another device or a colleague on the practice network. Every editing surface also shows who else is there and what they are working on.
On the entry, Image Pool, and full body pages, in the zone drawer, and in the lesion details, there is no save button. A caption, a note, an appointment date, or an image or entry tag saves the moment it is made. The sync status pill in the header of every page and drawer that edits a record reports the save state beside a count of the other sessions with the same record open.
The save state reads one of seven phrases:
Opening the pill shows the Sync Status panel: the save state, the time of the last save, and one row for each other session holding the record, with the member's name, account type, and device ("on a computer", "on a tablet", "on a phone", or "on Companion"). The account's own other devices are listed first, as "You".

When a change cannot be saved, the pill reads Save Failed and a "Could not save changes" notification is shown. The change stays on screen, and two controls appear beside the pill: Retry Save sends it again, and Discard & Reload drops it and loads the saved version.
When the connection is lost, the pill reads Offline, and on the entry, Image Pool, and full body pages a "Changes cannot be saved" notice appears beside it ("Not saving" on a phone). The connection is restored automatically; pending edits are then saved and changes made elsewhere in the meantime appear. Leaving a page while edits are still pending raises an unsaved-changes warning first.
Each member of the team is shown in their own color, the same on every surface. The account's own other sessions are always blue.

Presence is shown on screen only. The saved work itself is what the activity log records, under the member who made it.
When another session has an entry, an Image Pool, or a full body session open, a session pill appears at the bottom of the dashboard pages. For a colleague it names the person ("Entry open by" followed by their name). For another device of the same account it names the page and the device ("Entry open on a tablet"). With more than one session open it reads, for example, "3 sessions open elsewhere".
Opening the pill lists those sessions under each patient's name, with shortcuts back to that patient's pages. Selecting a session row opens the same page on this device, and the other session keeps running. The close control on the pill dismisses it until another session opens.

Each account chooses whether colleagues appear in its session pill. Under Preferences, the Session Handoff card holds the Sessions of Other Team Members option, which is on by default. With it off, the pill lists only the account's own devices; the Sync Status panel still lists everyone.
Several sessions can hold the same record at once. The count in the sync status pill rises as each one joins.

Entry notes, image captions and details, zone and session details, and lesion fields are shared while they are written. Carets move live, and the text itself reaches the other sessions at each pause in the typing.

Drawing is shared as it happens. A stroke, shape, text label, or pin a colleague is drawing appears translucently in the style they are using and becomes the finished mark when they release. When a colleague moves, resizes, or rotates a saved mark, a translucent copy shows where it is going until they let go. Colleagues can work on different marks on the same image at the same time.

A colleague's Live Pointer strokes appear in their color on every screen with the same image open and fade there after a few seconds, so two clinicians can point at the same area from different rooms.

A comparison layout is arranged by one person at a time. The first session to change the layout of a comparison holds it while that comparison stays open there. The other sessions see a ring and that person's mark on the canvas ("arranging" on hover), and their layout controls for that comparison are disabled until the hold ends. Everyone can still annotate the comparison meanwhile; undo and redo wait for the hold to end.
A layout change made after another session started arranging is discarded, and a "Comparison arrangement reverted" notification reports it.
When two sessions save the same value at nearly the same moment, the outcome depends on what changed:
