🔧 Two editors, one content item, one lost edit. The upcoming Content Lock feature for #OrchardCore locks an item while it's being edited, so nobody publishes over someone else's work. New video by @hishambinateya 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=DUFeK30-… #OrchardCMS

A query running dozens of times per request looks fine in testing, not in production. New in the Lombiq UI Testing Toolbox: automated SQL query monitoring that catches duplicate queries and oversized result sets early. Demo 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=YBdzXsRE… #OrchardCore #OrchardCMS
