Collaboration
Invite people to a project as editors or viewers, work in the same tabs at the same time with live cursors, and keep up with invites, comments and exports from the notification bell.
Overview
A project can be shared with other people. Everyone works in the same tabs at the same time: changes appear live, each person has a cursor with their name, and comments and notifications keep the team in step.
Invite people
- Click Share in the project's top bar.
- Enter the person's email address, pick Editor or Viewer, and click Invite.
Only the project's owner can invite. Inviting is part of paid plans, from Creator up, and how many people a project can hold depends on the owner's plan. The person you invite needs a Raelume account on a paid plan; members of an agency's team can always be invited.
The Share panel also shows the project link with Copy. Only people you invited can open it.
Roles
- Owner: the person who created the project. Invites people, changes roles and removes people.
- Editor: can do everything in the project's tabs: add and change content, run generations, comment.
- Viewer: sees the project live and can comment, but cannot change anything or run generations.
Accepting an invite
An invite arrives by email and in the notification bell, with Accept and Decline. Opening the project before answering shows the invite first.
- The invite is for the email address it was sent to. Signed in with another account, you are offered Switch account.
- An invite expires after 7 days.
- Once you accept, you are in the project with the role the owner picked.
Manage people
In Share, the owner sees every member and every pending invite, and the list updates live.
- Change a member's role with the menu on their row.
- Remove a member with the bin on their row. They lose access at once.
- Cancel a pending invite, or use Copy invite link to send it yourself.
Working live
- Cursors. You see the cursor of everyone who is on the same tab, with their name in their colour: on the Flow canvas, on the Design board, and on the preview and timeline of Cinema Studio. On Flow and Design tabs, a person's agent shows its own cursor too, marked as that person's agent.
- Who is here. The avatars of the people in the project show in the top bar, with the tab each person is on. A short notice says when someone comes online or leaves.
- Follow. On a Flow canvas, click a person's avatar to follow their view. Press Esc, click Stop following, or move the canvas yourself to stop.
- Comments. Pin a thread to a block, a layer or a clip and mention people. See Comments.
If the live connection drops, Raelume says Live sync unavailable with a Reconnect button. Your changes are kept in the tab and saved when it reconnects.
The notification bell
The bell is in every project and on the dashboard. It lists invitations, comments (mentions, replies and resolved threads), exports, and generations that are running or have failed. Mark all read clears the unread markers.
While Raelume is open, a new notification also shows as a short notice on screen, and an invite can be accepted right from it. Your own actions never notify you.
Choose what reaches you in Settings › Notifications: mentions, replies, resolved threads, project invites, finished generations and exports, each with its own Browser switch, and Email for the comment events.
Public projects
Visitors who open a public project see its Flow and Design tabs without being able to edit or comment. Cinema Studio tabs are never shown to visitors.
