With [[Introduction to Obsidian Sync|Obsidian Sync]] you can collaborate on a shared vault with your team.
All collaborators must have an active Sync subscription to access a shared vault. Joining a shared vault does not count towards your [[Sync limitations#How many remote vaults can I have?|vault limit]].
If the remote vault is [[Obsidian Sync/Security and privacy|end-to-end encrypted]], collaborators must enter the encryption password when they set up the vault.

Collaborate with your team
Permissions
Fine-grained permissions are not supported yet. All collaborators receive the same permissions as the vault owner, with one exception: only the vault owner can invite collaborators.
Live editing
Shared vaults allow teams to work together on a set of files, however Obsidian does not yet support collaborative live editing on the same file. You will not see the other user's cursor, and their edits will only appear once the changes are synced.
If multiple users are editing the same file at the same time, [[Troubleshoot Obsidian Sync#Conflict resolution|changes will be merged]] during the syncing process. Changes can be viewed and restored using [[Version history]].
