⏱️ The Essentials in 3 Minutes |
🧠 Understand the Pedagogical Value of Collaboration on a Project
The quality of a learning publication is rarely built alone. Combining the perspectives of an author, a subject matter expert, or a pedagogical reviewer enriches the content, identifies ambiguities, and smooths the learner's progression.
But individual work remains valuable, particularly for ideation or early drafts. Didask therefore lets you choose, project by project, the right level of openness: strictly personal, shared with your entire team, or restricted to a small circle.
📌 Example: designing a new compliance publication. You start in personal mode to lay out the structure. You switch to restricted collaborative mode with 2 legal experts to validate the content. You then open it to full collaborative mode for the final review by the instructional design team.
✏️ Choose the Right Sharing Mode
Didask offers 3 access modes, adjustable at any time based on the project phase.
Mode | Who can view and edit? | Ideal for |
👤 Personal | You only. | Ideation phase, early drafts, confidential projects. |
🌐 Collaborative with all authors in the space | All authors in the space, and automatically any future authors added. | Open team projects, broad reviews, shared catalog. |
🎯 Collaborative with specific authors | Only the authors you select. | Work in a small circle, sensitive projects, ad hoc teams. |
💡 Admins always have access to all projects, including those marked as personal.
⚙️ Define or Change a Project's Access
Open your project.
Go to the project settings.
In the Access and sharing section, select the desired mode (personal, full collaborative, restricted collaborative).
If you choose restricted collaborative mode, select the authorized authors.
Confirm your changes.
⚠️ Only the project owner can modify its access settings. If you are a co-author, ask the owner to make the change. The admin can also add authorized authors to contribute to the project.
📋 Duplicate a Project While Changing the Space and Mode
When you duplicate a project, you can choose:
The destination space (useful if your platform has several).
The mode of the new project (personal, full collaborative, or restricted).
💡 Particularly useful for adapting the same content across several spaces (e.g. an onboarding publication adapted for several subsidiaries), or for taking a personal project and making it collaborative for a new team.
🔄 Transfer Project Ownership
You are the owner of a project and want to hand over management to another author? This is entirely possible and very straightforward.
Go to the Projects tab.
Open the relevant folder to access the List of all projects.
Find the project and click the three dots (...) on the far right.
Select the Transfer to option.
Choose the user you want to transfer ownership to.
💡 When to use this feature? This option is particularly useful when a collaborator leaves or is on extended absence (end of contract, team change, etc.).
Why it matters: transferring ownership gives the person taking over full management rights on the project, including modifying access settings or deleting the project if necessary.
