  • Can you clarify what problem you are trying to solve? Asking "how to allow multiple users to edit a file" is way too broad for this community. Commented Mar 24, 2023 at 12:18
  • Thanks for the feedback, I edited the question. I hope is clearer now. the part I am stuck on is whether using plain POST/GET requests and routes is the canonical way of achieving file edits on a remote file. I removed the multi-user part as it is not the subject of the question and I initially added it to provide more context to the question. Commented Mar 24, 2023 at 12:32
  • The path attribute won't be sufficient. You will also need a serial, timestamp, hash, or similar to identify each specific revision. Using GET to read & render the document is fine. For mutation there's more than one web verb that may be relevant. Commented Mar 24, 2023 at 18:41
