Compose.page announces a beta for real-time collaborative editing. Learn what to expect, how to join the beta, and tips for collaborative workflows.

New Feature Announcement: Real-time Collaboration Beta

We're excited to announce the beta release of real-time collaboration in Compose.page. This update lets multiple editors work together on the same page simultaneously with presence indicators, inline comments, and version history.

What’s included in the beta

  • Simultaneous editing with cursor presence.
  • Inline comments and resolved threads.
  • Simple version history with restore points.
  • Permission controls for editors and viewers.

How to join the beta

Beta access is limited. You can request an invite from your project settings under Collaboration Beta or sign up via the announcement link. We prioritize teams that publish public content and want to test editorial workflows.

Best practices for collaborative publishing

  • Use roles: Define who can edit, who can comment, and who can publish.
  • Comment early: Use inline comments for copy changes, not private chat.
  • Lock the hero before publishing: Prevent last-minute changes that could break layout.
  • Review version history: Restore if a collaborative edit introduces regressions.

“Collaboration should reduce friction, not add it. Treat the editor as the single source of truth for published content.”

Known limitations

This is an early beta. Expect minor conflicts when many editors manipulate complex blocks simultaneously. Advanced access controls and single-sign-on are coming in subsequent releases.

Feedback loop

Beta participants will have a direct channel to the product team for feedback. If you hit an issue, report it via the in-editor feedback widget with a reproduction case.

Roadmap items

  • Advanced role-based permissions and SSO.
  • Granular lock controls for sections of a page.
  • Live cursors in embed blocks and third-party integrations.

We believe collaboration will speed up publishing and reduce handoffs between writers and designers. If you rely on distributed teams for content, this beta is a chance to shape the final product.
