Collaborate on SharePoint Pages and News with coauthoring

Have you ever been editing a SharePoint page and wished that you could have someone else working on it at the same time so that you could collaborate? Now you can with the new ability to be editing a SharePoint page or news post at the same time. Here’s how that looks and works…

Two (or more) people can both have the page open for editing. You will see the picture icons of the people who have it open in the upper-right corner, and you will be able to see what web part they are working on. Changes will be saved every few seconds:

You’ll see the changes in real time, keeping in mind that only one co-author can be in a web part at a time. Also, if an author attempts to publish or post a page while others are actively editing, the author will see a warning message that others are editing. If desired, the author can proceed with publishing and posting.
