2. Click Start Collab.

Note: If the collaborate button is not available, it is likely that the Collaborate package is not installed. Use the Package Manager to reinstall it.

Publishing changes to your project

If you enable Collaborate on a newly created project, your project is automatically published to the cloud.

If you are adding Collaborate to an existing project, you might need to manually publish your project.

To publish your changes and share them with your teammates:

1. Click the collaborate button.
2. Select the files you wish to publish.
3. Click Publish.

When you make changes to your project, the collaborate button displays an up arrow to indicate there are unpublished changes.

Getting changes from the server

When another team member makes changes to the project and publishes to the cloud, the collaborate button displays an icon to indicate that there are new remote changes that your local version of the project doesn’t have.

To get the latest changes from the server, click Sync in the Collaborate window.
