How to update a template used by a team

[ehud.behar at protonmail.com]

I am writing a template to be used by my colleagues.

The template is mainly based on a module file that changes the WYSIWYG in the lyx editor to look close enough to what you would see in the printed pdf file.

But, not all latex commands you can write in a module file.

For example, changing the page style with the fancyhdr package,

\pagestyle{fancy}

is a command that should be inserted as an ERT code somewhere in the lyx file.

I have sent over to one of my colleagues a beta version of this template, and he started using it and inserted his own content in it.

But after improving the layout I understand that I need to place this command somewhere else in a different position in the document.

So in order for the writer to line-up with this change, it has to be done manually by him since this is not a command inserted by the module file. This is an example for a minor change, and of course, I can send him an email telling him what changes should be made, but this is not considered a smooth and correct workflow.

Do you have any insight or idea how we can work better as a team?

Thanks very much!
