Multicollab is excellent for content teams of all sizes. Here are a few use cases of how small teams collaborate and save time with Multicollab:
- Use as a self-note during the content drafting process: You can use Multicollab to leave notes for yourself while drafting content. You can easily highlight any part of the content you would like to review or update later and add notes as comments to select parts of your content.
- Use to proofread your content effectively: Multicollab is a convenient tool during the proofreading phase of your project. When you or your team needs to proofread the final draft, you can highlight corrections to your content by leaving inline notes as comments. You can also use the ‘Suggest Edits’ feature to highlight the edits you made without overwriting the original content. Sharing corrections and edits with your external content writers using Multicollab is much more effective, convenient, and fast than with other services.
- Perform developmental editing (content editing) like a pro: You can review content for its flow, readability, and ease of understanding at this stage. You can leave inline notes/comments using Multicollab on the different parts of the content that you think need correction, improvement, and/or other changes. You can also update or delete any part of the content, and it will be highlighted or crossed out in different colors using Multicollab’s ‘Suggest Edit’ feature. This way, you will see all the edits you made to the original draft before deciding which version you’d like to keep.
