Inviting Collaborators to a Project

Collaborators are people who can view the images within the project and leave comments and markups. To be a collaborator within a project, you must have a verybusy.io account. Note: you do not need to have a paid account in order to be a collaborator in a project. For more information about roles, check out this article.

When you're ready to invite someone to a project, follow these steps:

  1. Click the “Share” Button
    From within the project, click the blue “Share” button in the top right corner of your project screen.

  2. Add Invitees
    Under "Invite Collaborators," enter the email addresses and/or groups of the people you want to invite to the project.

  3. Add a Message
    (Optional) Include a message to your invitees.

  4. Send Invites
    Click Invite to send an invitation.

The invitees will receive an email inviting them to the project.

If your invited collaborators follow the email invitation and have never used verybusy.io before, they will be prompted to create an account and will then be brought directly into the project. They will also have the option to take a quick tour of the verybusy.io interface.


Inviting Guest Collaborators to a Project (No Account Required)

The benefit of this route is that the collaborators to which you send this type of invite do not need to have a registered account in verybusy.io. That is one less password for your collaborator to remember.

To invite Guest Collaborators to a project, follow these steps:

  1. Click the “Share” Button
    From within the project, click the blue “Share” button in the top right corner of your project screen.

  2. Select Share Link Options
    Under "Share Link," select "Anyone with link can access" from the dropdown menu.

  3. Copy the Link
    Click "Copy Link."

  4. Send the Link
    Share the copied link with anyone you want to have project access.

The recipients of the share link can access the project immediately without signing in or creating a verybusy.io account. During their first visit, they will need to provide their name and email so the platform can identify them in comments and send notifications about any changes to the projects they have access to via the link.
