Collaborate
Real-time collaboration
Design together with live cursors, comments and follow mode.
Every Shippp file is multiplayer. Teammates, reviewers and AI clients can work in the same file at the same time, and every change appears for everyone instantly.
See who is here
- Avatars of everyone in the file appear at the top of the right panel.
- You see their cursors and selections live on the canvas.
- With many people in the file, Show all N participants lists everyone.
Follow someone
Click a collaborator's avatar to follow them: your view moves with theirs. It is the easiest way to run a design review or pair on a screen. Move the canvas yourself to stop following.
Comments
Press C (Comment) and click anywhere on the canvas to start a thread. A comment dropped on a layer stays attached to it when the layer moves. While the Comment tool is on, the right panel lists the comments of every page; each one says which page it is on, and clicking it takes you there.
| You can… | How |
|---|---|
| Reply and mention | Reply in the thread; type @ to mention a teammate. They see Mentions you. The reply count opens the thread. |
| Edit or delete your message | Hover your message and open Message actions (⋯). Edited messages show (edited). |
| Resolve | Resolve thread when it is done; Reopen thread brings it back. |
| Track what is new | Mark as read / Mark as unread; sort by date or by unread. |
| Find a discussion | Search comments, and show or hide resolved comments. ⇧C shows or hides comments on the canvas. |
Note
Working offline
If your connection drops, keep designing. Shippp shows Offline — changes are saved locally and syncs your work when you reconnect.
AI clients in the file
An AI agent working through MCP appears on the canvas like a collaborator: you see its cursor, its name and what it has selected. The MCP button on the canvas toolbar shows when an agent is working — including agents of collaborators in the same file. When an agent comments, it is shown as the author. Agent changes follow the same path as yours: they are validated, attributed and can be reverted. See MCP → Access & permissions.
