Edit the Same Draft Together 👩🏼🤝👨🏻
With Collaboration, you can work with your teammates in one Content Editor draft, simultaneously. Say goodbye to the read-only mode whenever someone else opens up the article!
Comments
One key development for Collaborative Content Editor drafts is the ability to add comments. Thanks to this, you can enhance teamwork and deliver feedback and ideas in within a draft you are working on as a team.
With comments, you can add your notes and freely discuss without immediately applying changes to the draft you are working on.
How to use Comments feature 💬
Simply, highlight a section or text to prompt the command menu and click on "Add comment." A text box will appear so you can write your ideas, suggestions, or feedback.
You can resolve, delete, or reply to a comment thread.
TIPS ON HOW TO MAXIMIZE COMMENTS 💡
Collaborating with Comments is a great feature which enables a quick exchange of ideas with your co-writers and SEO teammates!
