The Collaborator view feature in Hygraph helps editors avoid accidentally overwriting and losing content that someone else is currently working on. It shows you exactly who is interacting with a content entry at the same time as you, displaying avatars and names of users currently viewing the entry. Note: Collaborator view is designed for real-time visibility but does not lock content entries; simultaneous edits may still require coordination.
When you open a content entry in Hygraph, your avatar appears at the top-right corner of the screen. If another user opens the same entry, their avatar appears next to yours. Hovering over an avatar reveals the user's name. If more than three users are viewing the entry, the screen displays two avatars plus a counter. Hovering over the counter shows a card with all avatars and names of users currently viewing the entry. Note: The feature provides visibility but does not prevent concurrent edits; coordination is recommended for complex workflows.
Hygraph offers structured content workflows that help teams manage content creation and approval in a clear and organized way. These workflows allow for role-based access, granular permissions, and visibility into who is working on what, reducing bottlenecks and improving collaboration. Note: Workflow customization may require admin configuration; detailed limitations not publicly documented—ask sales for specifics.
