Collaboration is at the heart of Vev, making it a versatile platform for working with freelancers, consultants, and agencies. This article provides a detailed overview of the different ways you can invite and collaborate with external individuals within Vev.
Inviting External Collaborators on Various Levels
You have the flexibility to invite external collaborators at different levels, each serving a unique purpose in your collaborative journey. These include inviting individuals to your team, folder, or project.
To a Team
This feature is available in the Organization plan. If you're interested, reach out to our sales team. 🌟
When you invite external collaborators to a team, they gain access to all folders and projects within that team. However, they won't have access to account templates and hosting settings.
To a Folder
This feature is available in the Organization plan. If you're interested, reach out to our sales team. 🌟
When you only want external collaborators to access projects within a specific folder, you can invite them at the folder level. This option allows for more granular control over who can access which projects.
To a Project
To invite a stakeholder to a specific project, you can do so directly within the Editor. Click the "Share" button in the top right corner of the canvas.
Project sharing gives you detailed control over the external collaborator's permission level within the project.
The Invitation Process
Once you've extended an invitation, your external collaborator will receive an email invite. They'll need to accept this invitation to join your team, folder, or project.
