⏱️ The Essentials in 3 Minutes |
🧠 Why collaboration matters for course design
A strong learning path is rarely built alone. Bringing in an instructional designer, a subject matter expert, or a peer reviewer enriches the content, catches ambiguities, and smooths the learner experience.
That said, individual work has its place, especially for early drafts and ideation. Didask lets you choose the right level of openness for each project: strictly private, open to your whole team, or shared with a select group.
📌 Example: designing a new compliance course. You start in personal mode to outline the structure. You switch to restricted collaborative mode with 2 legal experts to validate the content. You then open it to all authors for a final review by the instructional design team.
✏️ Choose the right sharing mode
Didask offers 3 access modes, adjustable at any time depending on the project phase.
Mode | Who can view and edit | Ideal for |
👤 Personal | You only + by default: all platform and space admins | Ideation, early drafts, confidential projects |
🌐 Collaborative with all space authors | All authors in the space, including future ones added later + by default: all platform and space admins | Open team projects, broad reviews, shared catalog |
🎯 Collaborative with selected authors | Only the authors you select + by default: all platform and space admins | Focused teamwork, sensitive projects, ad hoc teams |
💡 Admins always have access to all projects, including personal ones.
⚙️ Set or change a project's access
Open your project.
Go to the project Settings.
In the Access and sharing section, select the mode: personal, collaborative with all authors, or collaborative with selected authors.
⚠️ Only the project owner can change access settings. If you are a co-author, ask the owner to make the change. A platform or space admin can also add authorized co-authors to the project.
📋 Duplicate a project to a different space or mode
When duplicating a project, you can choose:
The destination space (useful if your platform has multiple spaces).
The mode of the new project (personal, collaborative with all, or restricted).
💡 Particularly useful for adapting the same content across multiple spaces (e.g. an onboarding course tailored to different subsidiaries), or for taking a personal project and opening it up to a new team.
🔄 Transfer project ownership
If you own a project and want to hand it over to another author, you can do so in just a few steps.
Go to the Projects tab.
Open the relevant folder to access the full project list.
Find the project and click the three dots (...) on the right.
Select "Transfer to".
Choose the user you want to transfer ownership to.
💡 This is especially useful when a team member leaves or goes on extended leave.
ℹ️ Project owners and platform admins can transfer project ownership.
Transferring ownership gives the new owner full management rights over the project, including the ability to change access settings or delete the project if needed.
💡 Good to know
🔐 Access requirements
Access to a project depends on your role on the platform. At least one of the following conditions must be met:
Role | Projects accessible |
Platform admin | All projects across all spaces |
Space admin | All projects in their space |
Author | Projects they own, and collaborative projects they are a co-author on |
⚠️ What to do if you see a "page not found" error
If you try to open a project via a link shared by a colleague and see this message:
Oops page not found
It looks like the URL you requested doesn't exist
This page doesn't exist or you don't have the rights to access it
Code: not_found_or_not_allowed
One of the following applies:
You are not the project owner and are not listed as an authorized co-author.
You do not have an admin role in this space.
The project has been deleted. If needed, the project owner can recover it from the Projects page filters : Learn more →
💡 To get access, ask the project owner to add you as a co-author, or contact your admin.
