Real-Time Collaboration

Multiple people can edit the same Z-Docs document simultaneously, with all changes synced instantly.

Multiple people can edit the same Z-Docs document simultaneously, with all changes synced instantly.

How to Collaborate

  1. Share the document with colleagues (see Sharing and Permissions).
  2. When multiple people open the same document, you'll see:
    • Colored cursors — Each person has a uniquely colored cursor showing where they're editing.
    • User names — Displayed next to cursors so you know who is working where.
  3. All changes are updated instantly for everyone.

Comments

Add comments to any section of the document:

  1. Highlight the text you want to comment on.
  2. Click the comment icon (or use the keyboard shortcut).
  3. Type your comment and click Send.
  4. Colleagues can reply to comments or mark them as resolved.

Version History

Review all previous versions of the document:

  1. Click the "..." menu → select Version History.
  2. Browse through versions — each version shows the time and who made the edits.
  3. Click Restore if you want to go back to an older version.

Note: Restoring an older version creates a new version — it does not delete existing versions. You can always go back to any version.

Tips for Effective Collaboration

  • Divide sections — Each person edits a different section to avoid conflicts.
  • Use comments instead of editing directly when you want to give feedback.
  • Check the history if you need to understand who changed what.
