Workbook Collaboration with Live Edit
Your team can collaborate on workbook drafts in real time, with all editors sharing one live draft. This "live edit" feature allows you to see and contribute to other people’s drafted changes before they are published.
Note: Prior to 11/1/2022, editors worked with individual drafts. Drafts were not sharable and work was not visible until published. Beginning 11/1/2022, all new organizations support shared, live drafts. This new feature is gradually being rolled out to legacy organizations. Organizations' Admins will be notified before the change is made.
