Collaboration Features

Real-Time Collaboration

Nodeable enables teams to work together in real-time on the same branch. All changes are synchronized instantly across all collaborators using Y.js CRDT technology.

Seeing Collaborators

• Player Panel: Shows all users currently viewing the branch
• Cursor Overlay: See where other users are working on the canvas
• Connection Status: Green indicator shows when you're connected; yellow/red indicates connection issues

Collaboration Features

1. Live Cursors: Each collaborator's cursor is visible with their name and assigned color
2. Selection Sharing: See what others have selected
3. Viewport Sync: Optionally follow another user's view
4. Auto-Save: All changes are automatically saved and synced

Best Practices

• Communicate with your team about who is working on what
• Use branches for independent work streams
• Review changes frequently to avoid conflicts
