Realtime editing
How multiple people can work together in the same Lovision project simultaneously.
How realtime editing works
When multiple people with Edit or Manage permission open the same project, all changes are synchronized live. Every canvas edit, layer addition, or property change made by one person is visible to all other open sessions within seconds.
Lovision uses Liveblocks under the hood for real-time sync. Changes are applied optimistically — they appear immediately for the person making them and propagate to others as the sync confirms.
Requirements
- The project must be shared with the collaborator. See Share projects.
- The collaborator must have Edit or Manage permission. View permission allows browsing but not editing.
- Both sessions must have an active internet connection.
What you see during collaboration
- Multiplayer cursors — each collaborator's cursor appears on your canvas with their name, so you can see where they are working.
- Live layer updates — when someone adds, moves, or deletes a layer, the change appears on your canvas and in your layers panel in real time.
- Selection indicators — layers being edited by another person may show a highlighted border indicating they are in use.
Conflict handling
If two people edit the same property at the same time, the last write wins. For simultaneous text edits, each keystroke is synced individually so both edits are preserved as a merged result.
Tips
- Use the multiplayer cursors to check if a collaborator is working in the same area before making large changes nearby.
- Use your team's review channel to leave notes about specific canvas areas without interrupting other people's flow.
- If your changes do not appear on a collaborator's screen, ask them to check their internet connection and refresh the page.
- Undo (⌘Z) only affects your own recent actions — it does not undo changes made by other collaborators.
