Collaboration on the same Adobe Illustrator file?

[Lemon1]

Hello,

What are some tips for easy collaboration on the same adobe Illustrator file?

Thanks!

You want to both work on it at the same time?

Yes, that would be ideal for us. both in the same file.

for example, I have a file located in my Creative Cloud files, what happen if we two users open the same file and work at the same time with the Ai file?

Whoever saves last, willget their version of the file and overwrite previously saved versions.

Basically: you want to avoid this at all costs.

"what happen if we two users open the same file and work at the same time with the Ai file?"

Currently you can share a folder with someone and allow them to edit the contents.

If two or more persons edit the content, you will get a conflict. Sometimes the result can be that a copy of the file is created, or that the last one who save overwrites the file.

There will always be versions saved of the file and you will have to fight about which edits you are going to keep (it is going to be a mess).
