Seamless and secure collaboration is key to faster feedback and on-time delivery. That’s why we’ve improved collaboration in verybusy—giving you more control, precision and visibility.

Here’s what’s new:

1️⃣ Role-based collaboration: Assign Managers, Editors and Reviewers and control access. Learn more about their permissions. 

2️⃣ Cleaner, Action-Focused Interfaces: Collaborators see only what matters, to drive action quickly where it matters.

3️⃣ Redesigned Sharing: Simpler, more intuitive way to invite people and manage their roles.

4️⃣ Role links: Invite both editors and reviewers via no-account required links for easy and fast collaboration.

5️⃣ Manage Download Permissions. Decide whether downloads are allowed at the project level. Your assets are valuable, and you get to toggle on when finals are ready to be delivered. Check out how it works here. 

​

Note: All previous collaborators are now Editors, with similar access as before.

You can now add collaborator groups directly when creating a project. You can now add collaborator groups directly when creating a project, saving you time if you collaborate with the same team regularly. Add everyone at once—right from the start.

This ensures no one is left out, prevents you from forgetting any email addresses, and eliminates unnecessary repetition.

To use this:

1. Create Groups in your Settings > My Workspace > Projects.
2. Then, just add them when starting a new project (or of course, via the "Share Project" button afterwards)

Save time and make collaboration smoother as you scale your content production.
