Tips
- Currently, collaborators must be added one at a time on a file-by-file basis.
- You can make someone both a co-editor and a co-publisher.
- Remember, if you transfer ownership, you are no longer the owner of the file and will be unable to access it unless the new owner makes you a collaborator.
