CollabPads
Multiple users can edit a wiki page simultaneously. All changes are visible to all editors in real-time. This is useful to prevent edit conflicts on a page, for co-authoring instant documents such as meeting minutes, or for drafting or brainstorming sessions, to only name a few use cases.

Why edit together?
edit- Meeting minutes:
Collaborative editing is great for writing meeting minutes during a meeting or for documenting any other live sessions or meetings in real-time. If more participants contribute, it is less likely that important points are accidentally omitted from the minutes.
- Instant knowledge transfer:
When multiple users edit a page at the same time, it becomes very time-efficient and to transfer knowledge from the heads of multiple people into the wiki. Participants can get new ideas and inspirations when they help each other with putting their thoughts on paper.
- Creating drafts:
Drafting new topics together is helpful for avoiding writer's block and to gain momentum when thinking about the general outline or the main ideas of the topic.
- Write quick notes:
Since the changes from an unsaved session are not directly visible in the wiki, making changes in Edit together mode are even useful for taking notes and only commiting them to the wiki once you find them useful enough to share with others.
