Background: With many people having moved to working remotely, collaboration is a much larger part of any enterprise applications. As such, it would be highly beneficial to add real time collaboration capabilities to editor controls, more specifically the RadRichTextEditor control. It would work similarly to how MS Word works when more than one user is editing a document at the same time.

Scenario: Assume you have and WinForms application where there is a form that contains a RadRichTextEditor. The content for this control is populated from a centralized database. This content is editable by users of the application. Lets say that you have two users (User A and User B) editing this content at the same time. Currently, User A cannot see what User B is doing in real-time, and vice-versa. Each time one of the users saves the content, it will overwrite any changes made by the other user.

Desired outcome: If the users in the above scenario are using MS Word, each user would see that someone else is currently editing the document and the other user's changes would be displayed in real-time. This same outcome should be made more readily available with the Telerik editors, primarily the RadRichTextEditor, so that when two users are editing the same content, they would see each others' changes in real-time.

I know this is possible using SignalR and a bit of code, but I think it would be beneficial for the RadRichTextEditor to have better "out of the box" support for this feature.

I am aware of a web-based control that has this feature. Specifically, the CKEditor (https://ckeditor.com/) control has the features I am requesting. However, I am looking at WinForms as opposed to web.
