Is it safe to modify a .qmd file while it is rendering/previewing in RStudio?

Hi everyone,

I’m working with Quarto documents in RStudio, and I was wondering:

Is it safe to modify a .qmd file while it is rendering or previewing?

For example, if I hit "Render" in RStudio and then start editing the file before the rendering process finishes, could that lead to problems?

Hi,

I personally do it all the time and when I save my file it just restarts the rendering process. I don't think there any issue with that since it seems like Quarto handles it well.
