Collaborate · Data Collaboration

Work on the same data, together.

Share a dataset with colleagues, classmates or family so everyone works from one table instead of emailing spreadsheet copies around.

What Data Collaboration does

You invite people to a dataset with a share link and choose their access. Collaborators can update records according to their permissions, each change records who made it, and dashboards built on the dataset use the latest saved data when they load or refresh.

Other people's views update on refresh rather than as live typing.
