Editing Project:Observatory Users Manual (section)

==== Entering/joining an Edit Together session ====
5. To begin the Edit Together session, one participant clicks Edit Together on the top of the page you wish to edit from the Editorial site:

6. You will see a Welcome message. Click “Start” to enter. (You can check the “Don’t show this message again” checkbox if you don’t wish to see it next time.)

7. Note: Any other User who opens or refreshes the page ''after''** at least one person has joined will see a blinking icon to the right of the Edit Together link telling them there is an Edit Together session in progress (**the blinking icon won’t show up because the page won’t autorefresh if they had the page open ''before'' the Edit Together session started—which is why it’s important to open or refresh a page right before you start any Edits):

8. The second participant (etc.) clicks Edit Together on the same page to join the Edit Together session.
 
* The first/existing participant(s) is/are briefly notified at the top right that someone else has joined. For example:

9. More than two people can join an Edit Together session at a time. (Any Observatory page can only offer one Edit Together session at a time, so any Edit Together session for a page is the only one at that time.)
