Working together in an EMDoc

Working together on a document in EMDocs is easy – anyone who has the  Edit access rights to the document opens it from the link or by double-clicking the EMDocs in the "Documents" section and starts writing. The latest updates from all contributors to the document are saved instantly and are visible to everyone who reads or works on the document.

An EMDoc is composed of headings and sections. 

Headings are used to structure the document (to learn how to create headlines, please read "Organise and structure an EMDoc"). 

Sections can be text blocks, tables, images or data-driven content (pre-built tables and charts that auto-update with the latest project workspace data). So, if you want to write a paragraph, insert a text block section into the EMDoc first. Or if you want to create a table, insert the table section into the EMDoc first. To learn how to create and edit sections, please read here.

Each section is marked with the blue outline, so you can easily see the beginning and the end of each section:

When you see an orange outline next to the section, it means that someone is working on this section. The profile picture (or initials) next to the orange outline indicate who is working in the section at the very moment. When someone is working in the section, the section is automatically blocked from being interfered by others. 

At the top of the EMDoc you can see all the users working on the document at the very moment. When a person is editing any section, an orange circle appears at his profile picture. To jump to the section the person is currently working on, click the profile image. 

Note: To start commenting a section, hover over it and click the "Discussion" icon. Read more about how to post and manage comments.
