Collaboration

Work on it together, without stepping on each other.

See who’s in which entry and field, leave notes on the field they’re about, and when two saves cross, keep everything that doesn’t clash and choose the rest.

When two saves cross

Marguerite and Céleste opened the same article, and both changed it. Save as Marguerite: Céleste got there first.

The words on the card are the Studio’s own. You only choose for the fields you both changed.

In the Studio

Together, in the Studio

Everything that keeps two people, or ten, out of each other’s way.

  • Presence

    Who’s here

    The faces of everyone in an entry, on the entry and in the lists.

    • Live, as people come and go
    • On Moteur Cloud, from two people

  • Fields

    Who’s in which field

    A field someone’s in wears their name and colour, reading or writing.

    • Down to the language
    • So you pick another field

  • Notes

    Notes on the field

    Questions stay with the content: pinned to the field they’re about, answered in a thread.

    • Resolved when they’re done
    • Agents’ notes carry both names

  • Saves

    Crossed saves, sorted out

    When two saves cross, everything that doesn’t clash merges, and you choose for the rest.

    • Field by field
    • Nothing overwritten without asking

  • En direct

    What the others are doing

    A band of what just happened in the project: reviews asked for, approved, published.

    • Hide it when you need quiet
    • In the Studio’s own words

  • Git

    One history for everyone

    Every save from everyone is a commit, so you can see who changed what, and bring any version back.

    • People and agents alike
    • A way back from any mistake

Notes

Questions stay with the content

A note pinned to a field, with its thread, is where the question gets answered, not an email chain nobody can find later.

  • On the field they’re about
  • Every author kept, agents included

Notes and history keep every change’s author, agents included.

Questions about working together

An agency owner asksDo we need Moteur Cloud for this?

MoteurYes. The web Studio is part of Moteur Cloud, and seeing who’s here takes at least two people on the project. Free has one, Personal has two.

A writer asksWhat if we change the same field?

MoteurWhoever saves second chooses: keep theirs, or take the other’s. Everything else merges by itself.

A reviewer asksCan we leave notes for each other?

MoteurYes, on the field they’re about, in a thread you can answer and resolve.

A tech lead asksDoes it work with agents?

MoteurAgents show up as themselves, acting for someone: their changes carry both names, and what they write stays marked until a person reads it.
