Collaborating with Group Workspaces
Using your prototypes
Overview
Group workspaces allow you to collaborate with your teammates. Use them to work on prototypes and usability studies.
When you publish to your personal workspace, only you can make changes to your prototypes. With group workspaces all members can publish to the workspace. And if a member leaves, the rest will still have access to what's in the workspace.

Creating a group workspace
When you're sharing a prototype, use the Create a group workspace
option in the share dialog.
You can also create and manage group workspaces from cloud.indigo.design.
Accessing your workspace prototypes from Indigo Studio
Use the Workspaces
tab from the Application menu
in Indigo Studio to access your published shares. There you can switch between available workspaces .
This way you can open and edit designs from your personal or any group workspace you belong to.
Publishing to a group workspace
Once you select a prototype from the Workspaces
tab in the Application menu
, click on Open as a new project
.
Once you finish making changes, you're ready to publish using the share option in Indigo Studio.
You can either replace an existing share in the workspace, or create an alternative by publishing it as a new share. For more on sharing, see Sharing Options.
Managing group workspaces from cloud.indigo.design
