Thinking in sync
To be on the same page is to share an understanding or agree on essentials: Let's make sure we're all on the same page before the meeting.
The metaphor evokes people reading from the same document—if you're on different pages, you're looking at different information.
Often used when coordinating plans or confirming mutual understanding: Are we on the same page about the deadline?
