Functionality & Editing FAQs

Quick answers to common queries and user roadblocks.

Can team members add comments without editing content?

Yes. Team members can add inline comments on WordPress content without needing edit-level access. You can control this using WordPress roles and Multicollab permissions.

Can multiple users add comments at the same time?

Yes. Multiple users can collaborate and comment on the same post or page simultaneously, making content reviews fast and efficient.

Can multiple users suggest edits at the same time?

Yes, if Suggestion Mode is enabled (Pro feature). However, suggestion mode does not support live collaborative editing like comments do—it’s sequential.

Is real-time editing supported like Google Docs?

Yes, up to 5 users can edit the same post simultaneously. However, Suggestion Mode and real-time editing are mutually exclusive—you can only use one at a time.

Can users assign comments to specific team members?

Yes. In both free and Pro versions, you can @mention a team member in a comment to notify and assign it to them.

Can authors create drafts but require editors to publish?

Yes. You can assign WordPress user roles accordingly—authors can create content, while editors can review and publish using Multicollab workflows.

Can team members raise tickets or assign content briefs inside Multicollab?

No. While you can tag someone in a comment, Multicollab does not support task management or content brief creation. Use project tools (like Asana or ClickUp) alongside.

Can I control who sees specific comments?

No. Currently, all comments are visible to users who have access to the post/page via WordPress roles. Granular visibility settings aren’t supported yet.

Can I sync Multicollab with Google Docs?

No. Multicollab replaces Google Docs for collaboration inside WordPress but does not integrate or sync with it.
