Collaboration

Share your book​

Only the Book Owner can manage book collaborators. To share your book:

  1. Click "Share" in the top-right of the Producer page
  2. Enter the collaborator's email address
  3. If the person has already signed up to Ketty:
    • Select their name from the dropdown
  4. If the person is new to Ketty:
    • Select the invite option
  5. Choose their access level:
    • Can edit
    • Can view
  6. Select "Share" to send the invitation

The Book Owner can modify or remove access at any time using the dropdown next to each collaborator's name.

Access levels​

Edit access capabilities​

Collaborators with edit access can:

  • Edit book content and metadata
  • Create and respond to comments
  • View PDF and web previews
  • Save publishing profiles
  • Download PDF or EPUB files
  • Use enabled AI features

View access capabilities​

Collaborators with view access can:

  • View book content and metadata
  • View PDF and web previews
  • View publishing profiles

Collaborative editing​

Ketty uses asynchronous editing at the chapter level for controlled collaboration.

How it works​

  • One collaborator can edit a chapter at a time
  • Other collaborators can view chapters being edited
  • Other collaborators can make and respond to comments
  • Chapter locks show editor's initials next to chapter title
  • Locks automatically release after 24 hours of inactivity

Managing chapter locks​

To release a chapter lock:

  • Click the chapter title showing your initials to deselect it
  • Or close the browser tab with the chapter open

Either action makes the chapter available for other collaborators with edit access.

Best practices​

  • Regularly release chapter locks when finished editing
  • Communicate with team members about editing schedules
  • Use comments for feedback while chapters are locked
