Edit a page together in real time

Work on the same page with other people at the same time: see who is there, where they are writing, and when their changes reach your screen.

Updated Web

Several people can work on the same page at the same time. You see who is there and where they are writing.

#Before you start

Everyone who edits must be able to edit the page: share it with them as Can edit. See Share a page and work together.

The Share dialog of a page with a member and the Can view, Can comment and Can edit choices

#Edit together

  1. Open the page at the same time as the others.

  2. Look at the page header: the avatars of the other people on the page show there.

    A page open by two people, with the other person's avatar in the header and their named cursor on a paragraph
  3. Write as usual.

    A marker with a person's name shows on the block where their cursor is.

The changes of others reach your screen within a few seconds, not instantly.

#Good to know

  • A person's name marker shows only while they are on the page with the editor active, and only if they can edit.

  • People who can only view or comment see the page, but do not edit it.

  • If something was changed by mistake, go back to an earlier version: see Page history, export and restore.

#If it doesn't work

Wait a few seconds: changes from others arrive shortly after they type.

Someone cannot edit

Give them Can edit in the Share dialog of the page.

Nobody can change the page
