#SW/BMDR-DaVinciResolve #Trouble Dynamic Project Switching is a feature designed to enable a single workstation to simultaneously open multiple projects into RAM, to accelerate the following: - Copy and pasting clips between Project Media Pools - Copy and pasting timelines between Project Media Pools - Copy and pasting clips between timelines in different Projects - Copy and pasting node settings between projects. > [!Warning] > A potential conflict exists wherein two or more workstations collaborating in a SAN environment may access a single DaVinci Resolve Project simultaneously, by using Dynamic Project Switching. > > Potential problems include: > - Disappearing edits > - Project Timeline & Database Corruptions > > To prevent such problems, be sure to turn off Dynamic Project Switching in the Project Manager context menus. Unless you are explicitly migrating items between projects, there should *not* be a checkmark next to this setting: > > ![[BMDResolve 18 - Dynamic Project Switching OFF - Project - Context Menu.png]] > ![[BMDResolve 18 - Dynamic Project Switching OFF - Project Manager - Context Menu.png]] > > Ideally, a second workstation running BMDResolve will *not* display SAN-hosted Projects which are currently open on another workstation, when both workstations are accessing a central Connected Database. > > > [!Danger] If Dynamic Project Switching is ON: > > Changes and edits conducted via one workstation may cause an 'Edited' warning to appear in the middle of BMDResolve's application header bar, next to the name of the current project. > > > > As of 230726Wed, there is no known method to 'update' to the latest remote changes. Initiating a Project 'Save' may clear the 'Edited' alert, but will also erase any changes within the timeline which were conducted remotely.
