Imagine how easy it would be to brainstorm, make notes during a call and edit a piece of copy together! Wrike's new LIVE Editor makes this possible by bringing real-time collaborative text-editing right into your workspace.

But what if you could also see the changes your colleagues make to the task or project description in real time? Imagine how easy it would be to brainstorm, make notes during a call and edit a piece of copy together! Wrike's new LIVE Editor makes this possible by bringing real-time collaborative text-editing right into your workspace:
IMPORTANT: If you are an existing customer, the decision on switching to the NEW LIVE Editor will be made by one of your account administrators. Please note that the colored text and tables created in the old editor will be available in the read-only mode. All administrators soon will be offered the chance to make a switch upon editing any description in their workspace.
Update May 30, 2013: No matter how long ago a task was created, you can now edit tables in its description collaboratively with your team in real time.
To learn more about how new LIVE Editor makes editing process agile and simple, check out the details of its exciting features:
1. Edit the description with several users simultaneously.
It's a true gem for remote teams! Collaboration on the text is now as easy as if you were sitting next to each other. With LIVE Editor you can see the changes the moment your colleagues type them. And, as the name of the author is displayed above the moving cursor, you can instantly spot who is taking part in the editing process. This way, the collaboration on the text becomes truly interactive.
The notification via e-mail and in the Activity Stream will mention the person who made the last changes over the past 5 minutes. This way your notification stream will remain neat!
2. It's all about time: No need to click "save."
We know how valuable every second of the intensive work day can be, and that's why all the changes you make are saved right as you type them. This is convenient and fast, and also helps avoid data loss even if your browser crashes.
3. Make changes even easier with Undo/Redo.
Have doubts on the just-changed part of the description? With LIVE Editor's new Undo/Redo button you can reverse the change with a single click.
4. Navigation is fast with embedded links.
Preserving the best from the old editor's features, the NEW LIVE Editor conveniently substitutes the links to the tasks by the task's name, so that you can easily spot what task the link refers to. As a valuable bonus, LIVE Editor also automatically transforms the manually entered address into a link.
5. Inserting a pic is as simple as 1-2-3.
Just like it was before, a quick drag-and-drop or the key combination Ctrl+V will instantly paste the needed pic into the description field.
Can't wait to try all the benefits of the LIVE Editor?
This new feature is automatically available to all of Wrike's new users and will be gradually rolled out to all existing customers.
