To allow someone to edit with you simultaneously, you'll first need to share your Prezi with them while you are in editing mode. To do this, simply click on the share icon near the top-right corner of the screen, and then select Share prezi….

This will bring up the Share dialogue box:

If you have an Education, Enjoy, or Pro plan for your account, you can set the Prezi to any level of privacy that you'd like here.

The first thing you'll notice is that if you have this Prezi in a folder, anyone you've shared the folder with is already on the list of people with whom this Prezi is shared. You can also add additional people to the Prezi in the same way we added them to the folder earlier.

One thing you should notice is that if your privacy level is set to Hidden or Public, then you can use a Copy link button.

However, using this link will only allow people to view the Prezi, and they will not automatically have the permission to edit it. Once you add people, however, you can specify whether you'd like them to be editors or viewers by clicking on the pencil icon that appears to the right of their name when you hover over it, as seen here:

Once someone else joins the Prezi and begins editing, you'll notice that their avatars appear on your screen. Avatars are the small pictures that represent someone else's account profile picture. It's possible to upload a picture, as I have with my account. However, if no picture is set, you'll see a colored smiley face as shown here:

As you can see in the preceding screenshot, the avatar appears both in the right column of the Prezi window and on the canvas itself to represent where the other person who is editing is focusing their efforts. Above the avatars on the right, you'll also see the total number of people who are currently editing, as shown in the previous image.

If the other editors don't have avatars with pictures that easily identify them, you can always hover over the avatar to see their name, as shown in the preceding screenshot.

If you click on the avatar that's on the canvas, you can click to either Zoom to position or Open profile. The zoom feature is particularly helpful if they are editing a different part of the canvas than you. Rather than clicking, dragging, and zooming to get to the section another person is working on, you can simply zoom straight there. These online collaborations work quite well for adding content, though they can become somewhat chaotic when trying to create paths. Communicating with your collaborators about what you are working on is an important part of the process.

Finally, if you hover over the icon that shows the number of people editing, it will turn into an arrow. Clicking on this arrow brings up further options that allow you to either get more information about the current editors, invite additional editors, or start the presentation. We'll discuss the Start presentation feature in the next section.
