+		- The editor is prone to race conditions of the type:
+			- 1. user edits something in the editor
+			- 2. before the edit has been synced to the backend, a different command touches the data
+			- The backend could check whether anything other than a sync touches data. 
+			- If so, wait for the editor to acknowledge the data change.
+			- If the editor does not acknowledge such a change, before trying to touch the data again, complain and let the user handle the situation
