Collaboration allows multiple users to work on the same email newsletter by sharing editing and publishing duties for that specific item. As an author of an email newsletter, you can invite other users to collaborate on one of your newsletters with you.

Collaboration on email newsletters is asynchronous. Only one person can edit a newsletter at a time. This prevents multiple users from editing the same newsletter at the same time. Learn more in Understanding how locking works in email newsletter collaboration.

Permissions in a collaboration

Any user you invite as a collaborator needs to have "Access Studio" permission. Otherwise, they cannot be a collaborator.

When you add a collaborator, the collaborator receives the same Studio permissions as you, the author, but only for this single newsletter. Permissions always mirror the author's permissions for this newsletter. For example: 

• If you can send newsletters, collaborators can send this newsletter.
• If you cannot send newsletters, collaborators cannot send this newsletter, even if they normally have sending permission for the Studio.

Only the author has the ability to change the Audience and Sender settings or to invite and remove collaborators. Collaborators cannot complete these actions.

If a collaborator adds a multichannel post or blog article to an email that the author or other collaborators don't have permission to view, they can still see the teaser title, text, and image in the editor, but they cannot access the post to view it in full.

Find a newsletter for which you're a collaborator

You can identify and access newsletters you collaborate on directly from the Studio.

• Collaborative newsletters appear on your Dashboard > Drafts.
• Collaborators are shown as avatars next to the author.
• The same avatars are visible in the Calendar.
