Collaboration
Central-model worksharing — several people edit one project, each owning the objects they touch.
How it works
Collaboration uses a central model with per-node ownership — no merge conflicts, because two people never edit the same object at once. You work on a local copy and sync with the central model; each edit is journaled with its author and time.
Setting your identity
Collaborate › Identity sets the name and email used to attribute your changes. Do this before sharing so the change history is meaningful.
Sharing & joining
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| Share Current Project… | Publish the active project to a central location for multi-user editing. |
| Open Shared Project… | Join a shared project from a central location. |
Working day to day
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| Sync to Central (F9) | Push your changes and pull everyone else's. |
| Release My Nodes | Give up ownership of the objects you edited so others can take them. |
| Change History… | A log of every edit with timestamps and authors. |
In worksharing mode the Object Browser shows owner badges so you can see who holds each object.
Ownership, not merging
Because edits are gated by per-object ownership, there is no automatic merge
and no conflict resolution to do — you either own an object and can edit it, or
you ask the current owner to release it.
