A note doesn’t have to be a solo effort. Add teammates as collaborators and a note becomes shared work: they can open it, read the current draft, and contribute their own thinking. Collaboration in PeerNotes is deliberate rather than chaotic — you choose who’s in, and the note shows exactly who’s involved.

​
Add collaborators to a note

1

Open the note

Collaboration is per-note: you invite people into a specific piece of thinking, not your whole library.
2

Add teammates

Open the note’s share panel and add collaborators by email. Each collaborator gets access to read and contribute to the note, and the note is shared with the workspace automatically.
3

Work the draft together

Collaborators see the latest version whenever they open the note. The note lists its collaborators — “With alex@…, sam@…” — so everyone knows who’s shaping the idea.

​
What collaboration is for

Pressure-testing

Invite the teammate most likely to disagree. If the argument survives their pass, it’s ready for the whole workspace.

Filling gaps

Different people hold different pieces. A note about a customer problem gets stronger when support, product, and engineering can each add what they know.

Co-authoring

Some notes are joint work from the start — a proposal two of you are drafting, a decision record for a shared project.

Review before it goes wider

Use collaborators as your editorial pass before a note is shared with the whole workspace.
Keep the collaborator list small while the idea is fragile. Two or three engaged editors produce better feedback than a dozen passive readers.

​
Collaborators vs. sharing

These are two different things:
  • Sharing a note with the workspace lets every member read and comment on it — but not edit. It’s a toggle you flip on and off.
  • Adding collaborators invites specific people to edit the note with you. Adding one shares the note with the workspace automatically.
Only notes can be co-edited. Your thoughts and sources can be shared with the workspace the same way notes can, but they’re never collaborative — there’s nothing to co-write.
