Working Together in Real Time

Dokyo supports real-time collaboration so multiple people can edit the same page at once. You see live cursors and changes instantly, edits merge without conflicts thanks to a CRDT-based sync engine, and pages can be shared with teammates by email or published as a view-only public link.

Dokyo is built for teams. Multiple people can open and edit the same page at the same time, and every change appears instantly for everyone. There is no save button; your work is synced continuously.

Inviting people to your workspace

Invite teammates by email from the Invite a teammate card on the workspace home screen, or from Settings → Workspace. Each member has a role:

  • Owner: the person who created the workspace; the only role that can delete it.
  • Admin: can invite and remove people and change their roles.
  • Member: can read and edit the workspace's content.
  • Guest: same content access as a member today. Reduced permissions for guests are not implemented yet, so do not treat the role as read-only.

Invitations are sent from your address, so this requires a confirmed email. Pending invitations are listed in the same panel and can be revoked at any time.

Sharing a single page

You do not have to hand over the whole workspace to share one page. The Share button on a page offers two routes:

  • By email, with view or edit permission and an optional message. The recipient sees the invitation in their sidebar and can accept or decline it; accepted pages appear under Shared with me. If they do not have a Dokyo account yet, the page is waiting for them when they sign up with that address.
  • A public link, which is view-only and needs no account. This is how you publish a page to the world; revoke the link and it stops working immediately.

Live cursors and presence

When teammates are viewing or editing a page, you see their cursors and selections in real time. Presence indicators show who is currently in the document, so you always know who you are working with.

Conflict-free editing

Dokyo uses a CRDT-based synchronization engine (conflict-free replicated data types). This means simultaneous edits from different people merge automatically without overwriting each other, even if someone briefly goes offline and reconnects.

Comments

Leave comments on a page to discuss changes, ask questions, or give feedback without altering the content itself. A comment can be attached to a specific block, so the conversation sits next to the sentence it is about, and it can be resolved once it is dealt with — resolved threads are hidden but never lost.

Notifications

The bell in the sidebar collects mentions, page invitations, and activity on pages you care about. You can mute notifications for a single page from its three-dots menu when you want to focus.

Deleting things safely

Deleted pages go to the workspace Trash rather than disappearing. They stay there for 30 days, with the remaining days shown next to each item, and can be restored in one click. Combined with per-page version history, it is hard to lose work in Dokyo for good.

Collaboration also works across databases: your team can update records together in real time.
