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.
What can you do with it?
Invite links
Share a dataset through an invite link.
Permissions
Decide who can view and who can edit.
Update tracking
