New in Release 5: invite people with Share in the top bar of the Composer, and see what each person has selected by the coloured borders on the canvas. Organisations move to Release 5 on their release weekend, from 9 October.
Not on Release 5 yet? Click the add collaborator button in the story editor. The people working with you appear in the media toolbar.
Build a story together by adding collaborators. You can add as many collaborators as you like. Up to 3 can work in the story at the same time, and each open browser tab counts as one.
Add collaborators
Open the story in the Composer.
Click Share in the top bar.
Search for your colleague under Invite and click Invite.
Everyone who can edit the story can invite collaborators, and add collaborators to story templates they can edit.
Remove collaborators
Open Share, click the red ✕ next to the person and confirm with Remove. People who have access through a shared folder are removed in that folder's share settings.
Working at the same time
The top bar shows who is in the story.
Each person gets a colour, and coloured borders on the canvas show what they have selected.
You can't select or change an asset while someone else has it selected.
Only one person can edit triggers at a time. While a collaborator has the triggers panel open, the Triggers button shows "This feature is currently used by another collaborator".
When 3 people are already working in the story, the next person sees Story isn't available and can try again later.
Deleting a shared story
Only the owner of a story, or the owner of the folder it's in, can delete it. Collaborators lose access straight away.
Find stories shared with you
On the Stories page, stories other people shared with you are under Shared with me > Shared Stories, together with folders shared with you (see The Stories page).
Assets in a shared story
The assets in a shared story stay with the story owner. See Working with scenes for what happens when a collaborator saves a scene from a shared story.
