Collaborators

Share a course with colleagues so they can build it with you — the same course, under their own role.

What you'll learn

  • Who can be added as a collaborator, and who never appears
  • Adding people and whole groups to a course
  • What a collaborator can and cannot do
  • What happens when two people edit at once

Who can collaborate

Open a course and you will find Collaborators next to Assign. These are the people who can build the course with you.

The list you choose from is deliberately short. Only people whose role allows them to work on courses appear — managers, experts and administrators. Learners never show up here, so there is no way to hand someone editing rights by accident.

Adding collaborators

Click Add Collaborators. Search for people by name under Users, or switch to Groups to share with a whole team at once. Select everyone you want and confirm with Add Selected.

Each person gets an email and a notification in their feed. The course then appears in their own course list, ready to open.

What collaborators can do

A collaborator works on the same course, not a copy. There is no merging and no separate version to reconcile — you are both in the same place.

What they can actually do is decided by their own role, not by the fact that you shared it. Someone whose role allows publishing can publish; someone whose role does not, cannot. Passing the course on to another person stays with roles that are allowed to share.

Sharing a course does not change anyone's role. If a collaborator cannot do something you expected them to, the answer is in their role rather than in this screen — see Role Management.

Sharing with a group

Sharing with a group behaves differently from picking the same people individually, and the difference matters over time.

Access follows the group. Anyone who joins that group later gets the same access to the course automatically, and anyone who leaves loses it. There is nothing to remember and nothing to update when the team changes.

Removing access

Each collaborator has an X beside their name. Removing someone takes the course out of their list immediately. It does not affect anything they built while they had access — their work stays in the course.

Working at the same time

Two people can open the same course at once, and Konstantly will not referee it.

On any one page, the last save wins. If two collaborators edit the same page at the same time, the second save overwrites the first with no warning and no way to recover the earlier version. Agree who is working on what before you both start.
