At Fellow, collaboration is key to productivity, and we offer multiple ways for teams to work together. Two key features that facilitate collaboration across teams and organizations are Cross Workspace Collaboration and Guest Users. While both allow for external collaboration, they work in different ways and serve different purposes.
1. Cross Workspace Collaboration
Cross Workspace Collaboration is designed for users who are already apart of a workspace or have multiple workspaces (either within the same organization or across different organizations). It allows seamless interaction between users from different workspaces, enabling them to share notes, meetings, and tasks without needing to switch between accounts. Users using this method have their calendars fully integrated.
Key Features:
Multiple Workspaces: A single user can be part of more than one workspace within Fellow. This is useful for individuals who need to collaborate with different teams or clients.
Unified View: Users can view and collaborate on shared content (like meeting agendas and notes) across workspaces, making it easy to track work from different teams in one central place.
Collaboration Across Teams: Team members from different workspaces can add and edit shared meeting agendas, take notes together, and keep track of action items.
Permissions and Access: Depending on the permissions granted by the workspace admins, users can collaborate in multiple workspaces while maintaining different levels of access in each.
2. Guest Users
Guest Users are external participants who need limited access to your workspace, typically for a specific meeting or project. Rather than giving them full access to your workspace, you can invite them as guests, allowing them to participate in specific meetings, view shared notes, and contribute to discussions without granting them broader permissions.
Key Features:
Limited Access: Guest users can only access the specific resources that you invite them to. They cannot see the full scope of your workspace.
Meeting-Only Access: When you invite a guest, it’s usually for a specific meeting. They can view meeting agendas, take part in discussions, and access action items without being able to modify other parts of your workspace.
No Workspace Membership: Guest users do not need to be part of your workspace in a traditional sense. They can join as temporary free participants.
Permissions Control and Access: Workspace admins control what guest users can view or edit, ensuring that sensitive information stays private. Guest users will not need to have their calendars fully integrated.
