Review notes

  • The source confirms collaboration is available to all users, but it does not specify any plan limits or admin-only controls, so none were added.
  • The source says only the creator can export a Powtoon and only one person can edit at a time; this was preserved as a limitation.
  • Crosslink targets were mapped to plain related article titles because URLs were not provided.

Summary

Collaboration lets you share a Powtoon with other people so they can work on it with you. All users can use collaboration.

Permissions or access

  • Any user can share a Powtoon for collaboration.
  • You can share a Powtoon with someone who does not have a Powtoon account, but they must create an account before they can access it.
  • Only the creator of the Powtoon can export it.
  • Only one person can edit a Powtoon at a time.

Steps

  1. Share the Powtoon with the people you want to collaborate with.
  2. If the person does not have a Powtoon account, ask them to create one before they try to open the Powtoon.
  3. If another user is already editing the Powtoon, wait until they leave the Powtoon Studio before you start editing.
  4. When collaboration is finished, un-share the Powtoon with a specific user or with all users to revoke access.

Team impact

  • Shared collaborators can access and edit the Powtoon while they have permission.
  • If you share the Powtoon with someone outside Powtoon, their access depends on creating an account first.
  • Export access stays with the creator, so collaborators cannot export the Powtoon unless that changes in the product.
  • Un-sharing removes access for the selected user or for everyone you revoke.
