Wedding planners.. we've got a brand-new breakthrough feature set added to your account! 🚀
​
​Timeline Genius now lets you collaborate on your event checklists in a way that has never been possible before! 👀
​
💫It took us many months of focused work, but you now have all the same powerful collaboration features for your checklists that you have for your timelines! 🤩
​
Here's how it works... When you create a checklist, you can now invite your clients, vendors, and venues to access it online. And you can manage each person's access rights on a task-by-task basis.
​
➡️For example, you can "hide" a checklist task from a collaborator (say, to hide a task that is only for you and your team)... Or you can give a collaborator "view only" rights to a task, so they can see the task and post comments about it, without being able to change anything.
​
Lastly, you can give a collaborator "edit" rights to a particular checklist task. For example, you can let your bride edit a task related to setting the guest count, so she can add information (without emailing you) 😉
​
Ultimately, you're in control... You'll receive notifications (in Timeline Genius and via email) anytime someone posts a comment or makes a permitted edit. And you're the only person who can see all communications — no collaborator can see your conversations with the others. 😍
