Real-time Collaboration

Work together seamlessly with live cursors, presence indicators, and instant updates. See who's viewing and editing in real-time.

Collaboration Features

Live Cursors

See exactly where your teammates are working with real-time cursor tracking. Each user has a unique color for easy identification.

Presence Indicators

Know who's currently viewing the deck. Active users appear in the top-right corner with their profile pictures.

Current Slide Tracking

See which slide each collaborator is viewing. Hover over their avatar to jump to their current slide.

Instant Updates

Changes sync immediately across all collaborators. No need to refresh—updates appear as they happen.

How Real-time Collaboration Works

Share Your Deck

Click the "Share" button in the editor and invite team members by email. They'll get instant access.

See Who's Online

When collaborators join, their avatars appear in the top-right corner. A green dot indicates they're active.

3

Track Cursors & Activity

Watch live cursors move across slides. See which slide each person is viewing and what they're editing.

💡 Best Practices

  • •Communicate verbally (video call) while editing together to avoid conflicts
  • •Use version history to track who made which changes
  • •Assign specific slides to team members to work on different sections in parallel
  • •Grant "Viewer" access for stakeholder review without edit permissions
