### Collaborative editing
248+
249+
Collaborative editing is a feature that allows multiple users to work on the same content item at the same time.
250+
The system automatically track changes and allows users to collaborate within a single application, without the need for third-party tools.
251+
Uses can work together and use a real-time editor to create and review content live.
252+
This makes teamwork faster, more efficient, and simplifies content review process.
253+
254+
### Collaboration session
255+
256+
When you create a new draft of content item you can invite other users to join a collaboration session.
257+
To invite collaborators, click the **Share** button, which creates a new collaboration session.
258+
Then, in a pop-up window, you can invite users to newly created session.
259+
260+
!!! note
261+
262+
Only the owner can invite other users and initiate collaboration session.
263+
You can only invite users with permissions to a collaboration session.
264+
Users without permissions are grayed out and you can't select them and invite them to the session.
265+
266+
You can invite two types of users:
267+
268+
- **Internal** - by searching their name or email address. These users can either edit the content item or just preview it, depending on your choice.
269+
- **External** - by providing their email address in the field. They can only preview the document (editing option is not available).
270+
271+
Additionally, you can share a direct link to the collaborative session.
272+
To do it, click the **Copy link** button.
273+
Link is copied to the clipboard and you can share it with the users through communication channels.
274+
275+
After inviting users to a collaboration session, they receive a notification - visible after clicking the **Notification** icon on the main dashboard, in the case of internal users, or by email, in the case of external users.
276+
277+
Each user can leave collaboration session anytime or rejoin it.
278+
279+
### Editing content item
280+
281+
Real-time collaboration is enabled in rich text fields.
282+
Other fields are disabled and can be only edited by the owner of the content item.
283+
284+
Real-time collaboration is available for the following content types containing rich text fields:
285+
286+
- Article
287+
- Folder
288+
- Form
289+
- Product category
290+
- Custom content types
291+
- Product (without variants)
292+
293+
Collaborative editing feature works by syncing changes in real time, so everyone can see updates instantly.
294+
Avatars of the users invited to collaboration session are visible at the top of the editing screen, also in distraction free mode.
295+
While editing rich text fields, you can see colored tracking tags with avatar thumbnails that indicate who is currently working on it.
296+
This helps you to keep track of the progress and ensures transparency.
297+
298+
There are two modes of the collaboration:
299+
300+
- **Real-time (online)** - editing content at the same time with real-time tracking of the presence and changes of other users.
301+
- **Asynchronous** - ediitng content in different time.
302+
303+
Only the owner can publish content, save it, delete the draft, or publish it.
