I bought a premium gift for my friend. She started premium sub for a year. She has invited me to her "Universe", but I cannot co-edit documents (chapters) with her. Is this a bug? Or do I have to buy a SECOND license (for me)? (which would be upsetting)

Hey there.

Right now sharing a universe with someone allows you to view and edit all the worldbuilding pages in that world, and also shares their Premium status with you (so you can create Premium pages within their universe without needing a subscription yourself).

Documents function a little differently and are still new to being in universes. Right now, documents can be shared with others but only the owner can edit them. This is something I'm actively working on improving, but isn't enabled yet because I haven't finished the code for multiple people editing the document at the same time (right now each one saves over the other's changes, and it sucks when you lose something you've written!).

I'm hoping to have collaborative editing out soon, but I don't have a day I can promise when it'll be available. You won't need a second Premium subscription to be able to edit their documents, though, and as soon as it's live you'll be able to see a list of all documents being shared with you without doing anything extra on your end.

Sorry about the confusion there; I can message you when document collaboration is live if you'd like! I'm working hard on making it a useful feature and I'm really excited for it to launch.
