Team Collaboration

What is Team Collaboration?

Onlook's collaboration features let multiple people work on the same project simultaneously. Designers and developers can work together in real-time, bridging the traditional gap between design and implementation.

Key Benefits:

• Real-time editing - See changes as teammates make them

• Designer + developer - Both roles work in same tool

• No handoff friction - Design IS the code

• Comments & feedback - Discuss directly on elements

• Branch workflows - Work independently in the same project

Onlook collaboration eliminates the traditional design-to-development handoff. When designers work in Onlook, they're creating the actual production code that developers will use.

How Real-Time Collaboration Works

Live Updates:

When a teammate makes changes:

1. Change appears on your canvas immediately

2. Code editor updates in real-time

3. Changes sync within 1-2 seconds

Enabling Real-Time Collaboration

Share your project

1. Open project in Onlook

2. Click "Invite a team member" button in upper right toolbar

3. Invite team members via email

4. Invited member will need to accept the invitation over email

5. The shared project will now show in both users dashboard.

Collaboration Etiquette

Be Considerate:

• Announce major changes: "About to refactor navigation"

• Use branches: For experimental work

• Resolve conflicts quickly: Don't block teammates

Avoid:

• Editing same file without coordinating

• Massive changes without warning

• Ignoring conflict warnings
