Allow Co-Authors to Collaborate on Manuscripts

Feature Upgrade · Manuscripts · Created by dragonshardz
closed
Currently, users given co-author access to a world where the owner is able to write manuscripts cannot access said manuscripts to edit, comment, and collaborate on them.   Please upgrade the manuscripts feature to allow for collaborative editing between co-authors of a world, as long as the world owner has access to said feature.

Glad to hear it and hope to see the feature soon. Cheers!

The Team's Response

The chances are that access to Manuscripts will be given to co-authors before Homer II is released during the Design update which will be implemented within the next 10 months.

    I have suggested this last year and the response I got back then was that they were about to start on PROJECT HOMER II (MANUSCRIPTS V.2.0). A complete rewrite/rethink of how Manuscripts work. But since then they've been pushing this and instead focused on campaign stuff. Unfortunately. I paid good money (sub for a year) to write a manuscript, but it was so lacking that I quit a month into writing. I should've spent it on real manuscript software instead. @dimitri: I'm not blaming you for being busy, but can we get an estimate on when you'll be able to start on Homer II at least?

    I think for this to be a functional, professional system, we need to be able to bring in editors and let them edit. This is an important functionality.

    I agree with Shiobhan - we need an option for editors and commenters. Not sure they should have to be a co-author. but we need an option! I've had to edit my manuscript in other software because I need my editor's comments and I had enough it wasn't worth the time to transfer them manually.

    This would be a great option for editors to assist as well since they would then be able to access the manuscript without it needing to be taken off the site.

    I believe this is planned for when Manuscripts get updated next, but it would be nice to have. I did try to search for if this was requested here before (I swear it must have, but I can't find it offhand)
