Autype keeps normal single-user editing simple: both the visual editor and Markdown editor save directly through the API. Real-time collaboration is an explicit document mode for teams that need to edit the same Markdown document together.

​
Real-time co-editing

Enable collaboration from the document toolbar when several users need to work on the same document. A document uses one collaboration mode at a time, which prevents the visual and Markdown editors from maintaining competing real-time states.

Live cursors

See exactly where each collaborator is working in real-time. Cursors are color-coded per user.

Selection awareness

See what text others have selected. Useful for discussions and reviews — you always know what someone is looking at.

Markdown collaboration

CRDT-based updates synchronize Extended Markdown while collaboration is active.

Direct solo autosave

Documents without an active collaboration room use API autosave and manual Ctrl/Cmd+S saves without connecting to the real-time service.

​
Comments and discussions

Comments are a core part of the Autype workflow — not an afterthought. Use them for reviews, feedback, and team discussions directly inside the document.

Contextual anchors

Markdown comments attach to lines; visual-editor comments attach to the selected content block.

Threaded replies

Start a discussion on any comment. Threaded replies keep conversations organized and in context — no separate chat tool needed.

Resolve and reopen

Mark comments as resolved when the feedback has been addressed. Reopen them if something needs another look.

Review workflows

Perfect for client reviews, team approvals, and editorial feedback. Share a document, collect comments, iterate — all in one place.

​
Organizations

Every Autype account is part of an organization. Organizations are the top-level container for everything:
  • Projects and documents — All content belongs to the organization
  • Team members — Invite colleagues and assign roles
  • Reusable styles — Define your corporate design once, apply it across all documents
  • API keys — Scoped to the organization for automation
  • Plan and automation balance — Shared organization entitlements and automation credits
  • Settings — Billing, branding, and preferences

​
Roles and permissions

​
Invitations

Invite team members by email. They receive a link to join your organization. You can also set a default role for new members.

​
Version history

Autype automatically tracks changes to your documents:
  • Automatic snapshots — Captured by the active persistence path
  • Manual versions — Save named snapshots at any time (e.g., “Final Draft”, “Client Review”)
  • Diff view — Compare any two versions side by side
  • One-click restore — Roll back to any previous version instantly
Version history is per-document. Each document maintains its own independent history, so restoring one document never affects others.
For details on managing organizations, inviting members, and configuring roles, see the Guides section.
