Synchronous Editing in 📝MythOS brings live, multi-author co-editing to 📝Memo Collaboration: two or more authorized people edit the same memo body at once, see each other's cursors and selections as they move, and watch their changes merge on the page instead of colliding. It exists because co-writing used to mean taking turns — a second person's save could overwrite the first and force a refresh-and-reconcile — so live editing makes a shared memo behave like one document rather than a relay. It's for creators on the 📝Scholar and 📝Oracle plans and the collaborators they invite to write alongside them.
Key Capabilities
- Live co-editing — two or more authorized people edit the same memo body together, changes merging as they type.
- Presence and cursors — see who else is in the memo and where their cursor and selection sit, each in their own color.
- Automatic convergence — concurrent edits combine without either person's saved work silently overwriting the other's.
- Durable sessions — the merged result is stored on the memo, so closing and reopening loads exactly what everyone converged on.
- Permission-gated rooms — only the owner and invited collaborators with edit access can join; anyone else is kept out.
- Version history with co-authors — a live session is recorded as one snapshot crediting every co-author who contributed.
- Honest fallback — if live editing is ever unavailable, editing returns to the normal save path and its "changed elsewhere" warning, never a silent loss.
Getting Started
- Open a memo you own and invite a collaborator by username or email — inviting requires the Scholar or Oracle plan.
- Have your collaborator open that same memo from their own library.
- Start typing together — you'll each see the other's live cursor and selection, and your edits merge on the page in real time.
- Close the memo when you're done; the converged text saves automatically and appears in the memo's version history, credited to every co-author.
FAQ
- Will my collaborator and I overwrite each other's work? No — concurrent edits merge automatically, and if live editing is unavailable the memo falls back to the standard save flow, which warns you when the content changed elsewhere instead of discarding anything.
- Who can join a live editing session? Only the memo's owner and the collaborators they've invited with edit access; anyone without edit permission is kept out, and viewing a library as someone else cannot join a room.
- What happens to version history when several people edit at once? The converged result is saved as a single snapshot that credits every co-author, so history and search stay coherent rather than fragmenting into partial states.
- Does this cover daily journals, the notes area, or templates? No — it covers the memo body only; the collaborator-notes area, daily memos, and templates keep their existing separate-save behavior.
- What plan do I need? Inviting collaborators requires the Scholar or Oracle plan; once a memo is shared, live editing extends that collaboration with no extra tier.
