Adding Collaborators

How do I invite someone to my project?

  1. Open project

  2. Settings → Collaborators

  3. Click "+ Add Collaborator"

  4. Enter their email

  5. Select role (Viewer, Editor, Admin)

  6. Send invitation

They'll receive an email with accept link.

Do collaborators need a Juliet account? Yes. If they don't have one, they can create an account when accepting the invitation.

How many collaborators can I add? Depends on your plan:

  • Free: 1-2 per project

  • Pro: 5 per project

  • Team: Unlimited

Can I add collaborators to multiple projects? Yes! Each project has independent collaborator limits.

What if my collaborator didn't receive the invitation?

  1. Check they provided correct email

  2. Have them check spam folder

  3. Resend invitation from Collaborators settings

  4. Invitations expire after 7 days

Roles and Permissions

What's the difference between roles? Owner: Full control, can delete project, cannot be removed Admin: Manage collaborators, edit project settings and code, cannot delete project Editor: Edit code and files, use AI, view preview/terminal, cannot manage collaborators Viewer: Read-only access, view code and preview, cannot edit anything

Can I change someone's role after inviting them? Yes! In Collaborators settings, find the collaborator, click role dropdown, select new role, and save.

Can Viewers download the project? Typically no. Viewers have read-only access.

Can multiple Editors edit the same file? Yes, but not simultaneously. Changes sync after saving.

Who can use AI to make changes? Owners, Admins, and Editors can chat with AI and request changes. Viewers cannot.

Working Together

How do we coordinate who's editing what? Best practices:

  1. Communicate in project chat

  2. Announce before editing shared files

  3. Assign different files/components to different people

Can we see each other's changes in real-time? Not quite real-time. Changes sync after saving.

How do we avoid overwriting each other's work?

  1. Communicate what you're editing

  2. Work on different files

  3. Save frequently

  4. Refresh before editing

  5. Don't edit same file simultaneously

Managing Access

How do I remove a collaborator?

  1. Settings → Collaborators

  2. Find person to remove

  3. Click Remove button

  4. Confirm removal

  5. Access revoked immediately

Can I remove someone temporarily? Remove them, then re-invite later when needed. Or downgrade to Viewer.

Can an Admin remove the Owner? No! Only the Owner can remove their own ownership.

Can collaborators add other collaborators? Only Admins can add/remove collaborators.

Invitations

How long do invitations last? Typically 7 days. After that, they expire and need to be resent.

Can I cancel an invitation? Yes! In Collaborators settings, find pending invitation and click Cancel.

Project Ownership

Can I transfer ownership of a project? Check settings for ownership transfer feature. If available, go to Settings → Advanced or Ownership.

Can a project have multiple owners? No, one owner per project. Use Admin role for co-leads.

Practical Scenarios

Client wants to review my work. What role? Viewer - Perfect for clients who need to see code and preview but cannot edit.

Hiring a contractor for 2 weeks. What role? Editor - They can code but can't manage team. Remove their access after project completion.

Team of 5 developers building together. Setup?

  1. One person creates project (Owner)

  2. Add 1-2 leads as Admins

  3. Add other developers as Editors

  4. Communicate in project chat

  5. Assign different features to different people

Best Practices

  1. Assign Appropriate Roles

  • Clients: Viewer

  • Stakeholders: Viewer

  • Developers: Editor

  • Team leads: Admin

  1. Communicate Before Editing In chat: "Working on Header.jsx now"

  2. Regular Access Audits Monthly review who still needs access.

  3. Download Backups Before adding many collaborators, download project backup.

  4. Set Team Guidelines Document expectations for who edits what and how to communicate.

  5. Use External Tools Complement Juliet with Slack/Teams, Zoom, Trello/Jira, and GitHub.

  6. Respect Each Other's Work Don't delete others' code without discussion.
