Prerequisites

• Access to the Drive (DR001) menu.

Introduction

The simultaneous collaboration feature allows multiple users to edit the same file at the same time in SoftExpert Drive.

The changes made are applied and displayed in real time for all connected collaborators, eliminating the need to create separate versions of the document or wait for another user to finish editing.

This feature promotes greater agility, integration between teams, and better control of the modifications made to the content.
