Invite teammates to work in the Editor

Updated

Invite teammates to edit site content in the Webflow Editor.

Workspace plans let you share design and editing controls with members of your Workspace to collaborate more efficiently. But, at times, you may need to collaborate with people outside of your Workspace, like clients or store owners. With a CMS, Business, or Ecommerce site plan, you can invite teammates to collaborate on site content (e.g., text, links, images, products, and CMS content) or change page settings in the Webflow Editor.

If you’re on a Core, Growth, or Enterprise plan, all members of your Workspace can access the Editor on any website within your Workspace. If you’d like to collaborate with people who aren’t part of your Workspace, you can add them to your site as users working in the Editor.

If you add a CMS site plan or Standard Ecommerce site plan to a site within your Workspace, you can invite up to 3 teammates to work in the Editor.

If you add a Business site plan or Ecommerce Plus or Advanced site plan to a site within your Workspace, you can invite up to 10 teammates to work in the Editor. Additional teammates working in the Editor may be added to any Business site plan or Ecommerce Plus or Advanced site plan for $6 per month, per person.

Note

Localization features are only available in the Designer. Teammates working in the Editor can localize content in edit mode.

How to add a teammate to work in the Editor

Good to know

You must publish your site before inviting teammates to work in the Editor.

You can add teammates working in the Editor from Site settings > Site access.

To add a teammate from your Site settings:

  1. Go to Site settings > Site access > Editor access
  2. Click Add to Editor
  3. Enter your teammates’s email address in the email field
  4. If you’re on a Growth Workspace, choose your teammate’s role from the dropdown (e.g., Can edit or Can edit & publish)
  5. Click Invite

If you’ve chosen the Can edit role for your teammate, copy the invite link in the following modal window and send it to your teammate. If you’ve chosen the Can edit and publish role for your teammate, they'll need to accept the invitation using the link they receive in the confirmation email.

Important: If you’ve enabled whitelabeling on your site (i.e., if you’ve replaced the Webflow logo in the Editor), your teammates working in the Editor will not receive an email invitation from Webflow. Instead, you’ll need to provide them with a direct link to edit your site. Learn more about whitelabeling and Editor branding.

How to create an account for teammates working in the Editor

After following the invitation link in the confirmation email, your teammate will need to create an account by setting up a username and password. They’ll use this account to log in to your site.

Note

Passwords must be a minimum of 10 characters and should include 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter, and 1 number, at minimum.
