Thanks @vstuart for looking into this enhancement request.
I do not agree with you simply referring to LO Online for collaborative work
and disregarding LibreOffice desktop.
(1) In a professional setting (e.g. working on complex documents in a team),
users need a full-fledged/featured office suite *and* need to collaboratively
work on such documents. The competition (MS Word, to a lesser extent Excel,
Powerpoint) can do that and and this is an essential and very important feature
for working groups.
(2) There are two use-cases for collaborative editing: Real-time collaboration
and synchronization of changes (e.g. done offline). Both are equally important
and IMHO it should be a goal to support both in LibreOffice.
BTW, this bug is not a duplicate of <a class="bz_bug_link

Writer.</pre>
