Adding or editing content is as simple as clicking where you want to place it and typing the text you need. If you are editing a page, you have the option of typing / to insert things like an @mentioned, date, or even a component. In order to comment on existing text rather than edit it, you need to use the // character. As a result, your comment will be attributed to you. While you are viewing a component, you may see different colored cursors within the text, and you may see edits being made to the text. The upper right corner displays an avatar to display who is currently viewing, editing, or editing the component. You can view details about any avatar by hovering your cursor over it. To get an idea of who has access to the component, select Determine who has access to see and edit it. Among the avatars that appear here with the component are those of those people who have viewed the component at least once.
