- **Feature request:** Allow multiple users in the builder at the same time.
- **Short term fix:** Show avatars of people currently in builder on Orgs “Apps” view
- **Use Case:** As Glide gains importance in organizations, it will be important to allow multiple users within the same app-builder instance — similar to how Google Docs works.
  - Let’s say someone is in charge of design/layout in Glide
  - But another person is in charge of data, and they want to ‘preview’ what it looks like for a specific user to ensure it meets requirements, or perhaps create new columns in the data builder
  - Today, these two people must coordinate when they are using Glide today to ensure no one is getting ‘kicked out’

We call this “real-time collaboration.” We’d love to offer it, but it’s tricky!

How come this is not yet available 😫

This makes it impossible to scale your operations with Glide. If you have a team of two in your IT department, you can’t effectively grow with Glide since only one person can work at a time!

Extremely frustrating
