Q: If my collaborator doesn’t have a Collabwriting account, can they still comment?
Or do they need to open a free account?

May 14, 2024A: Hi there 👋
Currently to leave comments users are required to login, but they can do it in a single click (Google, Microsoft, Github) 😄
There's a suggestion for adding anonymous collaborator as well, so you can upvote it and leave your comments here:
https://collabwriting.sleekplan.app/feedback/87364
By the way, GDPR forbids tracking users without their knowledge, so if user would leave a comment anonymously, and then login, the comment wouldn't be attached to their account.
That's why our train of thought was in a direction of enabling users to view topics without logging in, but when they want to collaborate enabling them to do it as fast and as easy as possible 😄
Ida55820PLUSSo if a user with a free account can comment on the topic I shared with them, but they can’t create topic. Is that correct? Please confirm.

They can create Topics in their own Workspace, but they can't create Topics in yours.
The collaboration is imagined to be around Topics, Owner creates them and assigns roles to Collaborators so they can collaborate around them 😄
BerdleyPLUSHi Ivan... There's an option when sharing a topic, "Anyone with the link can comment", but it doesn't work. While users can view the topic and snippets, commenting is not an available option. Is that going to be fixed?

Hey Berdley 👋
That's strange, if they are logged in they should be able to comment.
Can you please reach out to us through support chat (pink bottom-right button) to investigate this further 🙏
