How do I invite a co-author to my project?

  1. The Collaboration code screen in the Fortelling app on a phone: the project's code to tap and copy, and the four steps to invite your team
    1

    Open your project, go to the collaboration page in the menu and turn collaboration on. Copy the collaboration code and send it to your co-author.

  2. The Enter project code screen in the Fortelling app on a phone, where a co-author types the collaboration code and requests access
    Send the code2

    They tap the button with a person and a plus sign on their home screen, enter the code, and you approve the request.

  3. The Member role sheet in the Fortelling app on a phone: Admin, Editor, Viewer or Public link, and Remove member
    Approve the request3

    New members join as Viewers, and you can give them another role at any time.

★★★★★ i don't usually write reviews but...
“OH MY GOD. this app is a LIFE SAVER it's literally the coolest thing ever; it's easy to understand AND helps so much with book writing and stuff. I'm currently in a dnd campaign where everyone is pretty new to the idea of dnd and using this app to store information is SO beneficial. You can collaborate with your friends as well which is so useful, and you can add characters (with extensive details on everything to do with them), you can add worlds, languages, species, and SO MUCH MOREEEE!!!”
