Working with other editors

When more than one person opens the editor, you can see and work alongside each other in real time. This only works when you sign in with your own account — sites opened with the shared site password edit solo, with no presence or locks.

Editor avatars appear in the top toolbar, one per person currently in the editor. Hover an avatar to see who it is.

When someone is editing a section, it shows a lock badge with their name and becomes read-only for you. You still see their changes update live as they type. When they move on, the lock clears and the section is yours to edit.

Need to edit a locked section now? Click Take over. The lock moves to you — and their unsaved work on that section is safely stored.

The editor protects work on both sides:

  • “Your unsaved edits were safely stored” — if a takeover interrupts you mid-edit, your text isn’t dropped; this notice confirms it was stored locally.
  • Conflict dialog — if you and someone else saved changes to the same section, you’ll be asked to keep mine or take theirs. Either way, the copy you don’t pick is safely stored locally so nothing is silently overwritten.
  • Other editors’ saved changes appear in place automatically — no need to reload.
  • A section someone else has just added won’t show up for you until they save.
  • Structural changes sync live, before anyone saves. Reorders and deletions of existing sections propagate to other editors as they happen — not just on save. That means a section you’ve deleted but not yet saved can be swept into a colleague’s save and removed permanently for everyone. If you didn’t mean to delete it, undo the deletion before your colleague saves.
