Seems to me this is tied to player syncing as well.
To amend the above example...
GM1 would create a new Realm,
becoming the Editor which is automatically checked out to them.
GM1 makes any offline changes they wish,
including creating Players and GM/Players. (GM/P1 and GM/P2 included as a GM/Players and P3, P4 and P5 as Players .)
GM
/P1 Syncs, and checks it back in, - retaining their (now read-only) local copy for reference
and becoming a Player and Viewer.
GM
/P2 checks out the Realm,
becoming the GM and Editor receiving an editable local copy of GM1's work.
GM
/P2 makes their changes offline.
GM
/P2 has made good progress but isn't complete with their work yet.
GM
/P2 Syncs with The Cloud, but retains the checkout.
GM
/P1 can Sync with The Cloud, receiving GM
/P2's updates.
GM
/P1's local copy is still read-only, but now contains the updates that GM
/P2 made.
GM
/P2 continues to work offline.
Eventually, GM
/P2 would Sync and Check In,
becoming a Player and Viewer, and GM
/P1 could then Check it back out again,
becoming the GM and Editor. Or a 3rd GM
/P...
