[Identified] BLOX has identified, based on reports from multiple customers, that an issue with the BLOX NXT collaboration server. Editing documents that were modified in the NXT admin in the last 48 hours may cause duplication of content fields such as the title, slug, body copy, etc. may occur. Content produced sometime after 8AM central this morning appears to be unaffected.
The initial mitigation has been to purge all temporary versions of these documents from the collaboration server and restore from the BLOX CMS revision saved on disk. For the majority of existing content, this seems to have corrected the behavior - however - if documents were proactively saved while viewing them in the editor with duplicate data, manually removing the duplicated content will be necessary.
The issue appears to be linked to a change from the collaboration service provider and we are working with our vendor on further discovery and mitigation. As part of the investigation and to prevent further issues, we will be temporarily disabling collaboration in NXT. After the investigation and confirmation of a fix, we will begin restoring collaboration mode for sites that have it enabled.

[Identified] We have determined that an upgrade from our collaboration server vendor about 12 hours ago is related to the issue. The problem appears to be a newly created race condition in how synchronization of updates happens in the editor.
We are still working with their support team on this problem. Additionally, we are working on an out-of-band release to add more defensive code and retry logic to handle the situation more gracefully without fully disabling collaboration if an issue is detected.

[Monitoring] Our collaboration vendor and development team has confirmed that the issue with the server was fixed as of 9PM central yesterday. We will begin re-enabling collaboration on clients that had it enabled at 10AM central yesterday. Clients that did not have collaboration on before that time will not have the feature enabled.
As part of turning the service back on, we will continue to monitor for reported issues.

[Monitoring] Collaboration services have been re-enabled and may require a fresh login to see the change enabled again. We are continuing to monitor sites for any issues.
