How to set initial data without duplication?

The recommended approach is to have the client (or server) who creates the Doc populate it with initial data. All other clients should sync before editing.

As far as I know it's not possible to selectively apply or broadcast some updates and not others. As soon as you skip an update, that Doc has a "hole" in it. No other updates will work as YJS will wait for the missing update, ensuring that updates are not applied out-of-order.
