EditTogether: Transforming Your Drupal Site with Real-Time Collaboration

Session Category Site-Building Audience All Attendees

As workflows for web-based content creation continue to evolve, Drupal adopters are increasingly looking to external tools for concurrent editing. EditTogether addresses this shift by bringing form-level real-time collaboration to Drupal, enabling users to create, review, approve, and publish content all in one place.

With multi-field collaboration, threaded commenting, integrations with existing Drupal workflows, and a plugin-based open-source architecture, EditTogether provides a variety of options for building seamless editorial workflows that start and end in Drupal. All that’s left is to set it up!

In this workshop, we’ll walk through:

  • How to install EditTogether to enable real-time collaboration on your Drupal site
  • How to procure the services required to facilitate real-time collaboration
  • How to configure EditTogether to suit your site’s particular concurrent editing needs
  • (For developers) How to extend EditTogether with new features using the plugin API

Afterwards, we'll have a Q&A for general, site-specific, and development-related questions and comments. By the end, you'll know how to set up and manage real-time collaborative editing on your Drupal site!
