Write Simultaneously or Separately
Once a collaborator is added to a project, they can access it anytime, even if the project owner is offline.
- Start by inviting your writing partner or team to your project:
- Invite collaborators by email
- Or share a multi-use link via any app (e.g. WhatsApp)
- Once inside the project:
- Co-write in real-time
- Or write independently (your edits appear in red when your collaborator returns to the project)
Communicate Within the Project
Clear communication is key when co-writing, and WriterDuet offers multiple integrated tools to help you stay on the same page.
Inline Comments
- Select the comment bubble to the left of any line to suggest edits and ask questions
- Use replies to keep discussions organized
- Open the Comments Widget to view or filter all comments
Real-Time Chat
- Open the Chat Widget to:
- Start a group chat with all collaborators
- Message individual collaborators one-on-one
🎥 You can even start a video chat to talk through changes live.
Know Who’s Working Where
Tracking your teammates’ activity in a multi-document project helps you stay synced and coordinate efficiently.
- Open the Project Widget to see user avatars and determine which document each collaborator is currently viewing
- Use Go to User Location to jump directly to where your co-writer is working
- Find exactly where a partner is typing with writer-specific cursor highlights
Revise with Confidence
Use line history and revisions to track edits, compare drafts, and toggle between ideas.
- See every past version of a line, who edited it, and when with Current Line History
- Enable writer-based revisions to track changes by color
- Use Date & Writers to see who contributed what on a specific day
