Editing together in real time

Presence

Avatars of everyone who has the project open sit in the header. When someone starts typing in a shot's script or a field, a pencil badge with their name appears on it and stays for 30 seconds after their last keystroke.

Soft locks

Nothing is hard-locked. If you click into something a teammate is editing you'll see Ana is currently editing this shot and can wait or carry on. Edits merge field by field: two people changing different fields on the same shot is fine, and two people typing in the same field means the last save wins for that field.

What syncs

• Script text, shot properties, canvas contents, scene and shot order, Elements, comments.
• Toasts announce structural changes by others (Ana added a canvas, Ana deleted shot 4). If someone deletes a shot or scene you were working in, a recovery panel offers to bring it back.
• Undo is per person and per session; you can't undo a teammate's change, only make a new one.

Where it applies

Live co-editing is for projects that live in a workspace. A personal project shared with an editor still updates when they reload, but without presence, badges or live merging. The Video view is the one place that's single-editor: one person at a time, others watch.
