I'm an Assistant Editor with a documentary company where many of the editors are off-site. We use Lucid Link.
Is it possible to have the Production live on Lucid Link, and have our entire team – our off-site editors, as well as those of us at the office (myself and the director) – work out of it instead of having local copies of the Production?
This way, theoretically, if there's a new day of shooting, I can Add it as a Project to the Production on Lucid and everyone will immediately have access to it. Also, the director can easily take a look at any work from the off-site editors because we'd all be working out of the Production that lives on Lucid.
Would this be inadvisable? I imagine there's an unforseen consequence I'm not anticipating.
On Page 74 of your Best Practices guide, "Decentralized Collaboration with Productions" recommends for each off-site team member to have a local copy of the Production:

Yes, in fact that's a normal way of working in a LucidLink setup.
My partner is in Cape, all Mac, I'm in Oregon, all PC. Our Production and all media and other assets live on S3 servers in London.
Works slick. You need 240Mbps or better with low latency. If at that or above it's a delightful workflow.

They'll have their own local copy of the proxies. I was just wondering if it's advisable to have all of us work off of Lucid as far as the Production and all of our project files?

I would. If anyone does have any playback issues, then they can 'pin' those files to their local system. Cache/preview files are probably local.
Are you using the LucidLInk Slack? That is an awesome and fast way to get both direct help and help and suggestions from other very experienced users.
