But we understand that some of you just can&#8217;t wait to try new features. If you are one of those eager ones you can manually enable real-time collaboration in Creately. Go to the &#8220;My Profile&#8221; tab in your Creately account. There you will see a check box like below. Check the box, log off and log-in to use real-time collaboration.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8873\" style=\"width: 592px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Creately-Real-Time.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8873\" class=\" wp-image-8873 \" title=\"Check the box to enable real time collaboration \" src=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Creately-Real-Time.png\" alt=\"Check the box to enable real time collaboration \" width=\"582\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Creately-Real-Time.png 728w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Creately-Real-Time-300x73.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8873\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enable real-time manually using the check box<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Benefits of Real Time Collaboration<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s fun, but there are many benefits to using real-time collaboration.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Saves time<\/strong> &#8211; No need for back and forth email communications and unnecessary meetings. Work on the diagram together and see the changes made by others. Instantly make decisions in\u00a0agreeable\u00a0to everyone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce costs<\/strong> &#8211; People on different locations can work together in real-time. Ideal tool if you have employees working from home or sub contractors working elsewhere in the world. Work with customers right inside your office and save time and travelling costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No multiple versions<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Now when you are collaborating with another\u00a0colleague\u00a0or friend at the same time, you both wont end up with two\u00a0different\u00a0versions of the diagram since you both are seeing each others changes while you are making it. Saves you from much trouble.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No conflicts in changes <\/strong>&#8211; Since there wont be multiple versions there wont be changes to the documents that conflict with each other. When you are real-time collaborating you can make decisions as you are changing the diagram talking to your collaborator. This will avoid conflicts in changes. later.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Works on Desktop too<\/strong> &#8211; It doesn&#8217;t matter if you are using Creately Desktop. The greatness of real-time will come to you soon as well. All you need to do is make sure you have internet when opening the diagram and you will be collaborating real-time!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Your Thoughts about Real Time Collaboration<\/h3>\n<p>So like I said, we are in Beta and we really want to know what you guys think about this new feature.
