Collaboration involves teams working together to achieve a common goal. It relies on individual characteristics including motivation, organisation and focus but also a shared understanding of team and individual objectives, and how they ladder up to the overall goal. By understanding how work is shared across Product, Design and Engineering not only will work get done faster but also to a higher quality. <\/p>\n

Environment also plays a supportive role in the collaboration of teams. By easily sharing and discussing issues and having access to the right tools and resources, time will not be wasted on unnecessary work that will ultimately impact on the final product.<\/p>\n

With collaboration so key to the success of design work, we\u2019ve made it possible for Marvel to be the centralised space for collaborative ideas, design feedback and iterations. Enabling teams to move faster and communicate better.<\/p>\n

Following on from our Prototyping basics in Marvel<\/a>, in this article we\u2019ll go into how you can benefit from collaboration in Marvel.<\/p>\n

Bringing your team into your workspace<\/h3>\n

The first step to collaboration is inviting your team and stakeholders<\/a> into your workspace so you can work effectively together on projects. From bringing in designs, to creating prototypes, commenting with improvements and testing, all can be done together. <\/p>\n

Different user roles<\/a> make it easy to manage and control access to projects for different stakeholders. Users assigned as Team Members can see all projects within a workspace but can be limited to either a view only role or can edit. Ensuring that no edits are made by mistake on projects by stakeholders whose role is to review and comment on work. <\/p>\n

If working with external partners, clients or freelancers, then the contributor role is perfect to keep the rest of your work secure. Contributors can only see projects that they\u2019ve been added to, and like Team Members, can be given either view only or can edit access.<\/p>\n

Even with these user roles, you may have a confidential project you want to limit access to, or you want to keep your client\/freelancer\u2019s project dashboard organised and clutter-free. The invite-only options enables projects to be viewed and\/or edited by admins and the users added to the project. <\/p>\n

Adding users to your project<\/h3>\n

If you want to work on projects with team members and contributors already on a workspace, you can search and add them by following these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open your project<\/a> <\/li>\n
  2. Click Share<\/li>\n
  3. Under the Add people to collaborate, search for existing users then click Add<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If the user you are adding is not already in your team:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Under Team, click Add people<\/a> <\/li>\n
    2. Enter the email addresses of the people you would like to invite to projects<\/li>\n
    3. Select role<\/li>\n
    4. Click Invite<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
