When teammates open the same project, you see each other on the canvas as you work: a cursor with a name, and short messages that follow the cursor. This works on projects shared with your team. Set it in Share in the canvas header: pick Only people invited or Everyone at your organization. A Private project has no one else in it, so it shows no cursors. If you just changed who can open the project, reload the page to see others.

​
Cursors

Each person who has the project open shows up as a colored cursor with their name. Their color stays the same every time you work together. A person with two tabs open shows two cursors.

​
Send a quick message

  1. On the canvas, press /.
  2. Type your message. A bubble that reads “Say something…” follows your cursor, and everyone sees what you type as you type it.
  3. Press Escape to close it, or Backspace when the bubble is empty.
The slash key opens a message only on the canvas. While you type in the generation input, in a dialog, or in the focus view, / is an ordinary character.

​
Who is here

The avatars next to Share are the people who can open the project. People who have it open right now carry a dot on their avatar. Click the avatars to see the full list.

Teammates on other branches

On a project with branches, you see cursors only from people on the same branch as you, because another branch’s canvas can look different.
  • A teammate’s message still reaches you from any branch. It shows as a bubble without a cursor, labelled with their name and branch, such as “Ali · on dark-mode”.
  • The dot on each avatar becomes a branch badge: highlighted when that person is on your branch, grey when they are only on another one. Hover the avatar, or open the list under Share, to read it in words, such as “On dark-mode”.
  • The branch menu shows who is on each branch next to its name.
