Real-Time Collaboration

Work together with your team on the same scene simultaneously.

Real-Time Collaboration

ShapeBox supports real-time, multiplayer editing so your entire team can work on the same scene at the same time.

Enabling collaboration

Collaboration is available on Team and Enterprise plans.

  1. Open your project in the editor.
  2. Click the Share button in the top-right corner.
  3. Select Invite collaborators and enter their email addresses.
  4. Choose a permission level: Editor (can make changes) or Viewer (read-only).
  5. Click Send Invites.

Invited team members receive an email with a direct link to the shared project.

Working together in real time

When multiple users have the project open simultaneously:

  • Each collaborator is shown as a coloured cursor in the viewport.
  • Object selections are highlighted in each collaborator's colour.
  • Changes are synced instantly — no need to manually save or refresh.
  • The Activity Feed (bottom of the screen) shows a live log of recent actions.

Conflict resolution

If two people edit the same property at the same time, ShapeBox applies a last-write-wins strategy. To avoid conflicts:

  • Use the Lock Object feature (right-click an object → Lock) to prevent others from editing it while you work on it.
  • Communicate with your team via the built-in Chat panel.

Viewing history

Click History in the toolbar to see a timeline of every change made to the project. You can restore any previous state with a single click.
