Step-by-step guide
Activate collaboration
To work effectively with your team on a project, first go to the editing settings. Click on "Edit" in the top menu bar and then on "Preferences." A dropdown menu will appear here.
Select the "Collaboration" tab in this menu. There you will find the important settings to activate collaboration. A central feature is the project lock.
Activate project lock
Activate the project lock by clicking the corresponding option. Here, you can also enter your name. Make sure that all projects must be closed in order for these changes to take effect.
Once you have made the settings, confirm with "Okay." If you are working on a team project, you should now restart the program to apply the changes.
Synchronize project
Now you are ready to work on your project. Make sure that the project is synchronized and shared with the team. The project panel shows a small padlock in the lower left corner – if it is marked green, it means that your team can access the project.
Access for the team
If the padlock is open, all members of the team can work on the compositions and access all necessary assets. To make or save changes, all team members can work simultaneously.
Lock project
Do you want to ensure that only you are working on a specific project? Then you can activate the padlock. This will lock the project for all other team members. You will then be the only person able to make changes.
Working on multiple projects
If you want to work on multiple projects, you can add another project. However, you should note that you can lock the current project if you want to ensure that no one else but you can access it.
Save changes
After you have completed your work, you can save the changes. It is advisable to regularly back up the project file to avoid data loss. When you have finished the project and reactivate the padlock, all changes will be locked.
