We've just rolled out a significant improvement to the plugin scope: as of today, plugin settings are synced across multiple users in real time, just as we do for records and other entities.

What's new

Until today, plugin data were loaded into DatoCMS at a few predefined moments: when opening the CMS, after installing a new plugin, and... that was pretty much it. That caused issues in some non-trivial cases involving plugins with complex parameters: if multiple users updated a plugin's settings at the same time, they risked overwriting each other's changes.

We solved the problem with the same approach with many other entities of DatoCMS: now the changes to plugin parameters are propagated to other users instantly, so that they always see the last version of it.
