# Team Collaboration

> Learn how to invite team members, manage permissions, and collaborate on projects with Readdy's Team Collaboration features

# Overview

Readdy's Team Collaboration feature allows you to invite team members to work together on the same project. Whether you're working with designers, developers, or clients, you can collaborate seamlessly with role-based permissions and shared resources.

## Use Cases

Collaboration is perfect for:

* **Cross-functional teams**: Designers, developers, and product managers working together
* **Agency-client projects**: Share projects with clients for review and feedback
* **Team development**: Multiple team members contributing to the same website

***

</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Editing Order">
  Only **one member can generate content at a time**.

  **How it works:**

  * When a team member is generating content, a "XXX is generating" message appears
  * Once this indicator disappears, the generated content will appear in the dialogue
  * If you don't see the changes made by another member, you can manually refresh the page
  * When other members are generating, if necessary, you can click the stop generation button in the bottom right corner of the input box to interrupt their generation

## Editing Boundaries & Credits

Understanding how credits work in collaborative projects.

<Accordion title="Credit Deduction Rules">
  All members use the **project Owner's credits**.

  **Credit Pool:**

  * Collaborators consume credits from the Owner's credit pool (linked to Owner's subscription plan)
  * All members can view each member's Monthly and Total usage statistics in the **Members** section
  * Owner can view credit consumption for each project in **Usage**

  **When Encountering Feature or Credit Restrictions:**

  * When encountering restricted features or insufficient credits, this prompt will appear and collaborators need to contact the Owner to upgrade their plan

Access and manage your project team.

<Accordion title="Members Panel">
  View and manage all project collaborators.

  * **Access**: Go to the **Members** tab in the left navigation bar on the main page

  <Frame>
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/readdy/nqmPdjxjPI7bzvIQ/images/collaboration-credits-display.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=nqmPdjxjPI7bzvIQ&q=85&s=321d3c1067559cccf47501c70d536878" alt="Credit usage display in collaboration" width="3486" height="1972" data-path="images/collaboration-credits-display.png" />
  </Frame>
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Changing & Removing Members">
  Change member roles or remove members from your project.

  **Who can make changes:**

  * Only the **Owner** can modify member roles or remove members

  **How to make changes:**
  You can change roles or remove members through either method:

  1. Go to the **Members** tab in the left navigation bar, find the member, and click their role dropdown
  2. Or click the **Invite** button in the website project, then modify the specific member's role

  **Available actions:**

  * Change role: Editor, Viewer
  * Remove member

  <Warning>
    The Owner role cannot be changed or transferred. There is only one Owner per project. After removing a member, they cannot access the project but can be re-invited later if needed.
  </Warning>
</Accordion>

***

## Best Practices & Tips

<Tip>
  **Start with Viewer permissions** for clients or stakeholders, then upgrade to Editor if they need to make changes.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Monitor credit usage** regularly in the Members panel to ensure your team has sufficient credits for collaborative work.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  **Plan ahead for team size** - Upgrading your plan before reaching collaboration limits prevents workflow interruptions.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  **Use share links for temporary access** - Link invitations are perfect for short-term collaboration or client reviews.
</Tip>

## Troubleshooting

<Accordion title="Invitation Not Received">
  **Possible causes:**

  * Email in spam folder
  * Link expired (after 1 hour)

  **Solutions:**

  * Check spam/junk folder
  * Resend invitation from Members panel
  * Verify correct email address
  * Ask recipient to check their Readdy notifications
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Cannot Edit / Button Grayed Out">
  **Cause:** Another member is currently generating content.

  **Solution:**

  * Wait for the current generation to complete
  * The "XXX is generating" message will disappear when ready
  * Manually refresh the page to see updates
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can Multiple People Edit Simultaneously?">
  **Answer:** No, only one person can generate content at a time.

  **How it works:**

  * After member A sends a message, member B must wait for A's generation to complete before sending

  <Warning>
    **Important:** In extreme cases where A and B send messages simultaneously, version conflicts may occur. This usage pattern is not recommended.
  </Warning>
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Where Do Credits Return When Credit Protection is Triggered?">
  **Answer:** Credits return to the project Owner.

  **Credit System:**

  * All collaboration uses the project Owner's credit pool
  * When credit protection is triggered, credits are refunded to the Owner's account
  * Collaborators do not have separate credit pools for collaborative projects
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Not Receiving Messages from Collaborators">
  **Cause:** Page not refreshed to show latest updates.

  **Solution:**

  * Refresh the page to update collaborator information
  * Changes will appear after manual refresh
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Link Invitation Join Failed">
  **Cause:** Project has reached the member limit for your plan.

  **Solution:**

  * Check your current member count in the Members panel
  * Upgrade your plan to increase collaboration limits
  * Remove inactive members to free up slots
  * Refer to [Collaboration Limits by Plan](#collaboration-limits-by-plan) for more details
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Credits Blocked for Collaborators">
  **Cause:** Project Owner's credit pool is exhausted.

  **Solution:**

  * Collaborators must contact the Owner to upgrade plan or purchase credits
</Accordion>
