Collaboration for Submissions

Organizations can allow multiple users to collaborate on applications.

Written by Pam English

Collaboration on forms is a powerful tool that allows multiple Submittable users to work on a submission together while signing in from their separate accounts. Organizations can allow collaboration on drafts on a project basis, which means the feature can be activated for only the projects that you choose to make collaborative.


Project Collaboration

To enable submitter collaboration for a Project:

  1. Click Projects.

  2. Select the Project for which you want to enable collaborations.

  3. Check the Enable Collaborations checkbox on the General Settings tab:

When viewing a submission that has been prepared with collaboration, you will see the collaborators listed beneath the primary submitter name on the submission details page:

Administrators and reviewers can send messages to the primary submitter and any collaborators through the messaging tool. Collaborator names will appear at the end of the recipient selection dropdown:

Collaboration after Opening for Editing

To allow collaboration after a submission is opened for editing, the submission must be for a project with collaboration enabled. Open the submission form for editing:

The submitter will invite and communicate with collaborators. When the submission has been resubmitted, you will see the collaborator's email address:

  • Collaborators will be among those you can message within this submission. They will appear along with the submitter and any team members assigned to the submission.

  • Collaboration cannot occur within Fraud Prevention form fields.

If you’re interested in adding this feature, please contact our Account Management team.
