We're happy to announce a major new collaboration update to Ycode!
Here's how your team can benefit from these new features:
Multi-user editing - By collaborating simultaneously, your team can now eliminate delays caused by handing off work.
Profile images - Small avatars show which user is active on each page. When a user is editing in the canvas space, others can see changes happen in real-time.
Editing queue – While waiting their turn to edit, users can only access pages in read-only mode. This prevents team members from accidentally overriding each other's changes.
Automated access – Once a user finishes editing and leaves a page, the user next in line automatically gets access to all the editing tools.
User management - Team members can now access the user area straight from the canvas (makes adding and managing users a lot faster).
These updates have made a big difference in my personal workflow. I can jump into creating new content more fluidly now, without having to coordinate access to the site. The ability to collaborate smoothly has been a game-changer.
Speaking of teamwork, here are the essential apps we use to stay aligned:
Apps our team uses for collaboration
At Ycode, we now use the built-in collaboration tools for editing our website. Besides that, we use:
Slack - For daily collaboration and conversations
GitHub - To discuss features, fixes, and product updates
Zoom - Mainly for our weekly sprint meetings
Google Slides - Used for our sprints and Pecha Kuchas
15Five - To check in on our team's pulse and progress
Now we're curious - how do you all stay coordinated? Any tips or apps worth mentioning?
