Share your Homer project

Homer lets you expose your project to external people to let them test dialogues and mechanics. Turning on the share option will create a public URL from where the project is published. Sharing can be restricted with a password and can have annotations (anyone with access to the public page can annotate each node.

Annotations will then be visible in the info panel of nodes.

Select “Share” from the main project menu to open the sharing panel.

You can invite other users as administrators, editors, or readers using their email. If the user already has a Homer account registered with that email he will find the project you are sharing on his Homer projects list page. Otherwise, the invited user will asked to create an account using that email and after the registration process, he will find the project in his project list.

Any administrator user invited to the project possesses the capability to modify other users’ roles and remove them from the project collaboration.

How does collaboration work

Ownership

When multiple users are simultaneously working on the project, ownership initially belongs to the first user who starts. However, other administrator users retain the ability to acquire ownership at any time.

Project ownership grants privileges such as editing Variables, Actors, Labels, languages, and metadata. Users with roles as Editors and Readers cannot obtain project ownership.

Furthermore, when a user is actively working on a flow, that specific flow enters a read-only mode, preventing any modifications by other users until the user finishes their task. Other users retain the ability to acquire ownership at any time.

To acquire ownership of a flow in a read-only modality select “Get ownership” from the main Flow menu.

Auto Update Flow

When a flow is in a read-only modality users can activate the “Auto Update Flow” modality to see what the owner is doing in real time.
