Communicating and sharing your org chart

Once your org chart is complete you can communicate by using these sharing and collaboration tips with your team.

 

How to collaborate your organization chart with others

To collaborate in real-time, you can 'Share' your scenario with members of your team. This will allow you to work on a scenario at the same time as your teammates. As their changes are saved, they will update in real-time on your browser.

They can also copy scenarios you have shared with them and design their own versions. This adds additional org designers to your subscription, if you're uncertain what this means for your billing, contact our support team and they'll be happy to clarify before you proceed.
