Collaborate with others on timelines

Preceden's built-in collaboration features let you share a timeline with someone else so that they can edit it alongside you.

Collaboration is included on our Pro plans. If your plan does not include collaborators, the Collaborators dialog shows a View Plans button instead of the invitation form.

Inviting Collaborators

Click the Share button above your timeline, then Invite Collaborators:

The sharing menu open above a timeline, listing PDF, PowerPoint, Presentation Mode, Image, Link, Embed and Spreadsheet above Invite Collaborators

That opens the Collaborators dialog, where you can invite others to edit your timeline:

The Collaborators dialog on a timeline that has none yet, its Invite section offering an email field beside a Send Invitation button

The people you invite can edit your timeline for free.

Once you have invited someone, the Share menu item reads Collaborators followed by the number of people you have invited, rather than Invite Collaborators.

Collaborator Limitations

A collaborator has full access to your timeline except for the ability to:

Delete the entire timeline
Change the collaboration settings
Change the visibility settings
Duplicate the timeline
Import from a CSV file

Real-Time Updates

Real-time updates are not currently available on Preceden, though it's something we'd like to add one day. If you have the timeline open while a collaborator is making changes on their own computer, you'll have to reload the page to see their changes, and they'll have to reload to see yours.

Number of Collaborators

Pro plans include up to 100 collaborators per timeline. Once a timeline reaches that limit, the invitation form is replaced by a notice telling you the limit you have reached.
