# Collaborate with Teammates

> Edit workflows with workspace members in real time and discuss design decisions through in-canvas comments

<Info>
  Collaboration is currently available on self-hosted deployments only. Support for Dify Cloud is planned for a future release.
</Info>

Building a workflow sometimes takes more than one person: a prompt engineer tuning instructions, a domain expert validating logic, a reviewer flagging edge cases.

Rather than taking turns, you can edit the same workflow alongside other workspace members and leave comments directly on the canvas, so the discussion stays with the work.

<Tip>
  Comments and collaborator cursors can be hidden from the zoom menu in the bottom-right corner of the canvas.

## Real-Time Editing

Workspace members with editor permissions or above can edit the same workflow simultaneously. When two members change the same element at the same time, the last edit wins.

## Comments

Right-click an empty area of the canvas and select **Add Comment** to leave a note. To drop multiple comments in a row, press `C` to enter comment mode. Comments persist across workflow versions.

If you @mention a workspace member in a comment, they'll receive an email notification.

Anyone with access to the app can read comments; adding, editing, or resolving requires editor permissions or above.

<Note>
  For self-hosted deployments:

  * If you access Dify on a host other than `localhost`, set `NEXT_PUBLIC_SOCKET_URL` to a WebSocket URL your browser can reach (e.g., `wss://dify.example.com`).
  * To disable collaboration, set `ENABLE_COLLABORATION_MODE` to `false`. If using Docker Compose, also remove `collaboration` from `COMPOSE_PROFILES`.

  See [Environment Variables](/en/self-host/configuration/environments#enable_collaboration_mode) for details.
