Collaboration
Invite people by email, see real-time updates, and resolve edit conflicts.
Inviting collaborators
Open the document menu (⋯) and select "Collaborate..." to invite people by entering their email address. Once invited, the note appears in the collaborator's document list and a collaborator icon is displayed in the document toolbar so you can see at a glance that the note has collaborators.
Real-time updates
When a collaborator edits a collaborative note, you receive a notification and the note's content is updated in your document list automatically. If the note is currently open in your editor, the app handles synchronization and alerts you if a newer version is available on the server.
Conflict resolution
If both you and a collaborator edit the same note simultaneously, Snownotes detects the conflict when saving. You are presented with clear options: load the server's version (replacing your local edits), save your version as a separate new note (preserving both), or force-overwrite the server with your version. This ensures no work is ever silently lost.
Viewing collaborative notes
Use the "Collaborative" filter in the view selector to see every note you are collaborating on — both notes you've invited people to and notes others have invited you to. Each one shows whether you are the owner or a collaborator.
