What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe..
This typically occurs during a hectic day. I open the Elementor editor on a client's website in one tab, then I receive a call and have to shift my focus to a more urgent task. A couple of hours later, I return to Elementor. However, I forget that it's already open and end up opening it in a different tab. I complete the work, publish it, and then move on to other tasks. At the end of the day, or the following morning, I clean up my browser. That's when I stumble upon the previous Elementor editor tab and, out of habit, I publish it again, inadvertently overwriting the work I had done earlier.
Describe the solution you'd like.
I understand the importance of paying close attention to avoid this sequence of events, and I try to be less chaotic, but sometimes it still happens, and it's incredibly frustrating. I'm wondering if it would be possible for the editor to alert me when the same document is already open in another tab. Perhaps a dismissible alert, but at least a warning that I'm risking losing some work. Ultimately, there's no benefit in having the editor open in multiple tabs. It's likely to consume more resources too, so encouraging users to work on one tab at a time could only improve things.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
