Real-time collaboration

Design synchronously with your team and AI agents with real-time collaboration.

Real-time collaboration lets teammates and AI agents design and edit the same page at the same time in Webflow — no more waiting your turn or handing off control.

What you can do with real-time collaboration

• Design together, live on the canvas
• Track who's working on what, including AI agents, with presence indicators
• Edit elements, layouts, styles, and content simultaneously
• Use undo and redo independently
• Work on any site on any Workspace plan
• Collaborate on page branches with your team in real time

How it works

If other teammates or their AI agents are working in your site, their avatar will appear at the top of the canvas toolbar. For supported actions, a colored outline appears around the element they're working on, so you can avoid overlapping edits. Everyone can:

• Co-build and co-edit on the same or different pages
• View presence indicators (avatars) in the top bar
• Undo or redo their own actions
• Copy and paste between pages

For best practices, we recommend you use clear communication with teammates when editing shared elements and utilize roles and permissions to help structure access and editing rights. The last change that hits our servers is the one saved when edits overlap.

All edits are saved automatically. If you're having trouble saving, please check your internet or server connection.

Agent presence

Agent presence shows where AI agents connected through the Webflow MCP server are actively working on your site. It includes your own agents as well as your teammates' agents, helping you coordinate work and avoid overlapping edits.

Agent presence indicators include a sparkle icon and identify who's running the agent. They can appear in:

• The top bar
• The Pages panel
• The Components panel
• The canvas

For supported actions, an indicator highlights the element being edited on the canvas. Some actions show only an avatar or a page-level indicator. For edits to CMS-bound content on the canvas, the indicator appears on the parent element.

Agent presence indicators don't appear in:

• CMS items or fields in the CMS tab
• Ecommerce editing paths
• Optimize variations
• Static page templates
• Context bar dropdowns

Supported plans and users

Real-time collaboration and agent presence are core features available on all sites, regardless of Workspace plan or Site plan.

Limitations

• No live cursors — presence is represented through canvas highlighting
• No keystroke syncing — text changes are synced after a user clicks out of the text block
• Real-time collaboration is not compatible with classic interactions or comments
• Collaboration is limited to 25 concurrent users
• Agent presence doesn't currently show where the Webflow AI Assistant is working
• Agent presence doesn't distinguish between multiple agents run by the same person

Frequently asked questions

My changes aren't showing on the canvas anymore. What should I do?

If you recently made changes but they're no longer showing on the canvas, the change was either reverted due to a conflict or your changes may be taking a while to sync and save.

Conflicts occur when another user or a background task (such as a third party app update) makes a change that conflicts with your change. In these instances, we accept the last change that was made to the layout or element.

Slow syncing typically occurs for users in low bandwidth regions. This can cause your changes to save more slowly to our database, which increases the risk of conflicts or timeouts. We recommend working on a stable internet connection. If you continue to experience issues, please contact our Support team.

My recent changes aren't showing up on my published site.

If your recent changes aren't showing in your published site, this could mean some of your changes are still saving. We recommend publishing again to correct the issue.

I'm getting a broken Wi-Fi connection symbol / "You're offline" message. What should I do?

The broken Wi-Fi connection symbol or "You're offline" message can happen when your network connection is unstable or restricted. Follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Hard refresh the page
2. Check your internet connection
3. Try using a different network, e.g., a mobile hotspot
4. If you're on an office or school network, confirm with your IT department that requests to webflow.services (including any subdomains) are allowed
