collaborative editing
Writing together simultaneously
Collaborative editing is the process of multiple people working together to create or revise a document, often simultaneously.
The term usually implies digital tools that let contributors see each other's changes in real time: Google Docs revolutionized collaborative editing.
The practice raises questions about authorship, version control, and how to reconcile conflicting contributions.
