Vev allows multiple team members to work together in the same project at the same time. Real-time collaboration makes it easy to track your own actions, see what others are doing, and communicate directly within the project.
This article covers the three main collaboration features in Vev:
Comments
Multiplayer Editing
Observation Mode
Comments
Overview
The Comments tool lets you communicate and share feedback directly on the Vev canvas. You can comment anywhere in a project, mention teammates, reply, and resolve conversations — all within Vev.
How to Add a Comment
You can access the Comments tool in two ways:
Click the Comment icon in the top bar navigation, or
Press the keyboard shortcut [C] to enter Commenting mode.
Once in Commenting mode:
Click anywhere on the canvas where you want to place your comment.
Type your message in the text box.
You can press Enter to submit your comment.
After posting a comment, you can:
Reply to continue a discussion.
React with an emoji or acknowledgment.
Mark as resolved when the issue has been addressed.
Mentioning Team Members
To mention a team member in a comment:
Ensure the person is a member of your Vev account.
Type @ in the comment box to trigger the mention list.
Select the team member’s name or continue typing to narrow the results.
Finish your comment and hit Enter to submit.
Once tagged, the mentioned user will:
Receive an in-platform notification visible in the project dashboard.
Get an email notification with your comment details and a direct link to the project.
Reviewing Comments
To manage or review comments:
Open the Comment Panel on the right-hand side when the Comment tool is selected.
From here, you can view all comments in the project.
Use filters to view active or resolved comments and easily track discussion history.
Multiplayer Editing
Overview
Multiplayer Editing allows multiple users to edit the same Vev project simultaneously. Each user’s activity is displayed in real time, making collaboration seamless and preventing version conflicts.
Key Features
When multiple users are active in the same project:
You’ll see a cursor with each user’s name, showing their real-time actions on the canvas.
All changes are instantly synchronized, eliminating the need for manual version control.
Users can work on different pages of the same project simultaneously.
Note: Undo (⌘/Ctrl + Z) and Redo (⌘/Ctrl + Shift + Z) commands only affect the individual user’s editing history and do not interfere with others’ actions.
Observation Mode
Overview
Observation Mode lets you view another user’s activity within a Vev project — similar to screen sharing. It’s perfect for real-time feedback, training, or reviewing team progress.
How to Use Observation Mode
Look at the avatars in the top toolbar (next to the Share button) to see who is currently in the project.
Click a user’s avatar to enter Observation Mode.
Once active, you’ll see exactly what that user is viewing and doing within Vev.
Observation Mode is an excellent way to:
Follow another user’s workflow.
Review design changes live.
Provide guidance without requiring an external meeting or call.
Additional Tips
Make sure all collaborators have access to the same Vev project and permissions to comment or edit.
Encourage teammates to use mentions and comment resolution to keep communication organized.
Use Observation Mode for quick check-ins or training sessions.
