Collaboration

Use 

BlackBerry Workspaces

 to easily and seemlessly collaborate with others on shared files. 

Collaborate by adding additional members to a workspace or folder; providing access to your original files, sending a copy of your file to others, or by sharing sent files with additional users. 

As a workspace administrator or workspace group manager, add group members to a workspace giving members the ability to directly access and collaborate on the files in the workspace. 

Send a copy of files to others, allowing your recipients to collaborate with one another and upload new versions. File versions are useful when you want to collaborate with multiple other users on the same file, enabling everyone to share their new versions with all recipients. When sending a copy of a file to others, the original file remains in the workspace, while a new copy of the file is created and sent. The sent file (the copy) and all of its collaboration and version history can be found in your Sent files area. 

Another way to enable collaboration on files is to add additional recipients to a previously sent file. Adding additional recipients to a sent file means that you are expanding the group of members who can work on the sent file. 

In your Received and Sent files area, files where upload of new versions is allowed are marked with . When you or any of your recipients upload a new version, files are marked with . From here, you can view a list of versions, and, from 

BlackBerry Workspaces

 app for iOS and Android platforms, you can also switch the current version to another version. In the web application, access the 

File activities

 tab to see an overview of activities performed on the file by members of a collaboration group.

When a recipient uploads a new version, the file versions icon is updated to reflect the new version, and the file appears in your Received files list. In addition, any member in the group, that uploads a new version can decide whether or not to send a notification. When selected, a notification is sent to the mail client of all of the other recipients in the group.

To turn off collaboration on a file where it was previously enabled, use the 

Turn off collaboration

 option  on the file action menu.
