CanvasRelay says another tab or person changed the scene

CR-4004 is optimistic-concurrency protection: a stale tab is stopped from silently overwriting a newer scene revision.

What you may be seeing

  • Save/Publish reports that the scene changed since this editor loaded.

What usually causes it

  • The same board is open in another browser tab/device.
  • A teammate edited the scene.
  • This tab remained open while another operation wrote a newer scene revision.

Do this

  1. If the newer work matters, reload the board to get the latest revision, then re-apply your local change.
  2. Close stale duplicate editor tabs when you do not need them.
  3. Use the overwrite/force path only when you intentionally want this tab's scene to replace the newer revision; do not use it reflexively.

You know it is fixed when

  • The editor is working from the latest revision and subsequent Save/Publish completes without a conflict.
