# Edit Together in Workspaces

> Edit Markdown together with guests or signed-in teammates, understand save points, and recover from connection or CRLF errors.

Signed-in teammates and guests with an edit link can edit the same Markdown
document at the same time. HTML and historical versions stay read-only.

## Start live editing

As a signed-in editor:

1. Open a Markdown document.
2. Select **Edit**. The active mode shows **Editing**.
3. Type in the editor. Use **Read** to return to the rendered document or
   **Changes** to inspect Markdown changes.

As a guest editor, open a Markdown document and select **Edit** to open or close
the editor. Guests do not see the **Changes** control.

Workspaces has no Save button.

## Automatic save points

Workspaces creates a save point two seconds after the last edit, with a
ten-second maximum wait during continuous typing. It also saves pending changes
when the last live participant leaves.

Each save point appears in the document's [version
history](/workspaces/documents/versions-and-restore) and read-only Git history.

## Presence

The presence bar shows up to five participant avatars, then `+N` for more. A
pencil marks someone who has the editor open. Two tabs from the same browser
can appear as two participants.

On the current Markdown document, Workspaces can show another participant's
pointer, text selection, and name. It does not show where that person is typing.
The pencil in the presence bar only shows that the person has the editor open.
Pinned versions have no presence overlays.

One document accepts up to 50 live connections. The next connection cannot join
until another tab disconnects.

## Connection states

The status can show `connecting`, `reconnecting`, or `offline`. If it shows
**live unavailable — reload to retry**, reload the page.

If the editor goes offline, keep the tab open while it reconnects. Do not rely
on unsynced text surviving a refresh, tab close, or browser failure. Use **Back
to reading** if live editing cannot start.

If the editor says **Live editing couldn't sync this document — reload to
try again.**, reload before making more changes.

## Convert Windows line endings

Live editing requires LF line endings. A CRLF document shows **This document
uses Windows (CRLF) line endings**.

Select **Convert to LF**. Workspaces checks for a newer document version before
saving. If the check passes, it saves the LF body as a new save point. If the
document changed first, the message says **The document changed before the
conversion saved — try again.**
