How do I edit and comment in real time?
Collaborating in real time allows multiple users to work on the manuscript simultaneously, making the editing process seamless and interactive. As changes are made, they appear instantly on the screen, giving all collaborators a live view of the content. Here’s how you can make the most of real-time editing and commenting:
All collaborators with editing permissions (owner, editor, and author roles) can add new content, modify existing text, or restructure sections of the manuscript. Changes are saved automatically, ensuring that no work is lost. Each collaborator's activity is tracked, so you can see who made specific changes and when.
Comments are a great way to suggest changes, share ideas, or provide feedback without altering the content directly. Users can highlight sections of text and leave comments to start a discussion or ask questions. Collaborators with the appropriate permissions can resolve comments once the suggestions have been addressed or delete them if no longer needed.
The editor provides indicators that show who is actively editing or commenting, such as coloured cursors and user names. This helps keep everyone aware of what’s happening in the document and allows for smooth collaboration, even when multiple people are working on the book at the same time.
Collaborators can reply to comments to discuss suggestions or make further recommendations. Once the feedback has been implemented, the comment can be marked as resolved to clear it from the list, keeping the workspace organised.
Open your manuscript – Navigate to your project from the Writing Dashboard.
Check collaborators' roles – Ensure all invited collaborators have the role you want.
Leave comments – Highlight text and use the comment feature to suggest changes or ask questions.
4. Resolve or reply to comments – Collaborators can respond to feedback or mark comments as resolved.
Instant feedback and collaboration.
No version conflicts—everyone sees the latest changes.
Improved efficiency and teamwork in the writing process.
