Kirki’s Real-Time Collaboration allows multiple users to edit, design, and review a page simultaneously on the same canvas. 

It provides:

• Live multi-user editing with instant sync
  
• Color-coded highlights to identify collaborators
  
• In-canvas comments
  
• Role-based access
  

This feature transforms team workflows, eliminating the need for back-and-forth logins or manual coordination.

Prerequisites

Kirki’s Real-Time Collaboration works hand-in-hand with the Role Manager to ensure teams collaborate efficiently, without overlapping permissions or unwanted edits.

• Full Edit Access: Users with full edit access can modify both design and content. This includes adjusting layouts, styling, and structural elements on the canvas.
  
• Content-Only Access: Users with content-only access can only update content, but cannot alter the design or structure of the page.

This separation ensures designers, developers, and content editors can all collaborate live, each within their own scope.

Learn more about managing permissions in the Role Manager Documentation.

Accessing Real-Time Collaboration

1. Navigate to Pages > select the page you want to edit.
   
2. Click Edit with Kirki.
   
3. Once inside the visual editor, you’ll see other collaborators online represented by avatars at the top of the canvas.

How it Works

All users with admin or edit permissions can build and design together in real time.

• Every change syncs instantly across all users’ screens.
  
• Active collaborators are indicated at the top with their avatar and color-coded highlights on the elements they’re editing.
  

In-Canvas Comments

Kirki supports contextual commenting directly on the canvas. Learn more in the Comments Documentation. 

Version Control & History

All edits are automatically saved in real time in a staging version. Previous versions of the page can also be accessed via the History Panel. Learn more in the Version History Documentation.
