What happens when a question or answer is awaiting someone’s action and there is multiple users with the same Q&A role?
When a Q&A item is awaiting action, any user with the corresponding Q&A role can take ownership of that task. The first user who actions the item will complete or move it forward, and other users with the same role will no longer need to take action. This ensures that tasks are processed efficiently and prevents duplicate work.
