SYMPTOMS
When two people change the same agenda item in the Meetings tool in Microsoft Office Groove 2007 or in an earlier version of Groove, the last change overwrites the first change.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the Meetings tool does not test for conflicting edits. In the Meetings tool, editing the agenda is assumed to be the role of a particular attendee. Adding conflict tests to the Meetings tool would make it significantly slower without adding value to the typical use of the tool.



MORE INFORMATION
In the Discussion tool, a member who has the correct user rights (by default, a manager) can also overwrite the original entry. The edit function in the Discussion tool is provided so that items can be corrected. Typically, other members would add content in a response.
