Teams belong to your liveworkspace account, so a team is the same in every liveworkspace app, livedocuments included. You make and run them in livedocuments' Explorer: New Team at the bottom of the sidebar's Spaces group makes one, and a team's card, at the top of its view (or behind Members in the editor's Explorer panel), runs it. Everything here needs a signed-in account.
Admin and Member
The person who creates a team is its first Admin. On the team's card, Admins can:
- rename the team (Edit Team on its ⋯ menu),
- invite people by email,
- change a member's role,
- remove a member or withdraw an invite,
- turn on a join link (Invite by Link),
- delete the team.
Members can see the team and its member list, work in the shared library, and leave the team.
A team always keeps an Admin: the last Admin can't step down or leave while others remain. Alone, the last Admin can leave, which deletes the team. Leave Team and Delete Team are on the card's ⋯ menu; afterwards you land in My Work.
Inviting by email
Open your team in the Explorer, enter the person's email address at the foot of its card, choose Member or Admin, and press Invite.
They get an email from liveworkspace with a link to the Explorer's Invites, where the invitation waits. They don't need an account yet: it waits until they sign up with that address. Signed in to livedocuments, they also see it under Invites in the Explorer sidebar, with a count.
They press Accept (which opens the team) or Decline on the invitation's card in Invites. Accepting takes a signed-in account whose verified email address is the one invited. The email's own decline link works without an account.
Once they've joined, the team shows up in their Explorer when their sign-in next refreshes, within the hour; signing out and back in brings it at once.
