To establish a team connection

  • Click Connect 

A password is only needed if the server requires it. Mostly this field can be left blank.


No other opened documents are allowed when establishing a team connection.

To work while connected

You can directly apply any tool or filter when connected. There is no need to lock the team.


Only when another connected user is changing the document the team will be locked until he has finished. While the team is locked the whole application interface is disabled except some fundamental commands like disconnecting from the team or exiting Artweaver.
