Shaper was built with a community-first mindset, meaning it’s designed for teams to work together seamlessly. If you have multiple people in your project (designers, product managers, etc.), everyone can collaborate in real time on the canvas – much like working together in a Google Doc or a tool like Figma, but now you’re all working on real code. Multi-User Editing: When a teammate is in the project, you’ll see their cursor on the canvas identified by their name or avatar. You can literally watch changes happen live as they drag elements or style components. This real-time editing eliminates the back-and-forth of design files and ensures everyone is on the same page (or rather, same canvas!). No more waiting for someone to finish before you start – co-create together. Comments and Annotations: See an area that needs discussion? Shaper’s comment feature lets you drop contextual comments on the design. Select an element or a spot on the canvas and add a comment (often via a comment mode or by right-clicking and choosing “Add Comment”). Your team can thread replies under that comment. Use this to request feedback, flag an issue (“Does this padding feel right?”), or leave notes for developers (“Hook this button up to signup API”). Comments ensure that feedback is centralized right where the design (and code) is happening, rather than lost in chat or emails. Version History: With multiple people editing, it’s important to track changes. Every edit in Shaper is backed by Git version control. You can review the commit history to see who changed what and when. If something went wrong, you can revert to an earlier version or create a new branch – just like you would in a development workflow. The difference here is designers don’t need to know Git commands; Shaper handles versioning visually. For those familiar with Git, you can even integrate branching: e.g., have a “feature/login-redesign” branch that folks collaborate on, then merge it when ready. This collaborative environment means the single source of truth for your product’s UI is Shaper itself – no more out-of-sync design files. Everyone – designers, devs, PMs – can see the latest design and code in one place, comment on it, and even contribute. It’s truly a community-driven way to build products.
Note: To invite team members, use the Share or Team settings in the top-right. You can control who has edit access versus view/comment-only. Shaper projects are cloud-based, so anyone with access can jump in from their browser – there’s no software install required for collaborators.
