Collaborators
Activity
Real-Time Collaboration
Work on the same document with your team at the same time. Everyone sees changes as they happen — when a collaborator makes an edit, a new history entry appears in the timeline and everyone's document automatically updates to the latest version.
The AI always works against the latest version of the document, so edits are always applied to what everyone is currently seeing.
Inviting Collaborators
Invite people to your project by email. They'll receive an invitation and can join with one click. If they don't have a Fable account yet, the invitation is deferred — they'll automatically get access when they sign up with that email address.
Shared projects appear alongside your own in the sidebar — hover over a project icon to see a (shared) label so you always know which ones belong to collaborators.
Roles and Permissions
Every collaborator has a role that determines what they can do:
| Role | Can do |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full control — edit, manage collaborators, accept/reject suggestions, manage billing |
| Editor | Write, format, use voice editing, and accept/reject suggestions |
| Viewer | Read the document and leave voice suggestions on specific passages |
Permissions are set at the project level — when you invite someone, they get access to all documents in the project.
Inline Attribution
Every edit shows who made it. Color-coded avatar icons appear in the edit history — each collaborator gets a unique color based on their identity, so you can always tell at a glance who contributed what.
Hover over any history entry for full detail: who made the edit, when, what changed, and why. Each document also shows its list of contributors — everyone who has edited that document.
Private Instructions
When you give a voice instruction, only you can see what you said. Your collaborators see that you made an edit and what changed, but not your exact words to the AI.
This is intentional. People feel more creative when they know their stream-of-consciousness instructions aren't on display. What matters is the result, not how you got there. The edit is attributed to you — it's your creative contribution, even though the AI executed it.
