Studio has support for rudimentary collaborative editing of a course. Users must have registered at studio.edge.edx.org, and must have activated their account via the mail link. If a user is not found, you will be notified.
Before you add a new user, consider the following.
· Invited users have full permissions to edit your course, including deleting content created by anyone else.
· Invited users cannot currently grant new permissions on the course.
· Editing conflicts are currently not managed. Thus, the state of the course might change between refreshes of the page.
To give another user permission to edit your course:
1. On the navigation bar, click **Course Settings**, and then click **Course Team**.

Since the launch of edX to our original partners, we have been working to provide opportunities for additional educators to create courses on our platform. The fruits of our efforts are Edge and Studio. These tools are available not only to our edX partners, but to all faculty at consortium universities.
EdX (http://edx.org) is our original, premiere learning portal. Publication to
edX is available on a limited basis, depending on your university’s agreement
with edX. You need specific approval from your university to release your
course on the edX portal. Once a course is released on the edX portal, it
becomes a publicly available massively open online course (MOOC).
EdX (http://edx.org) is our original, premiere learning portal. Publication to edX is available on a limited basis, depending on your university’s agreement with edX. You need specific approval from your university to release your course on the edX portal.
Edge (http://edge.edx.org) is our newest online learning portal. It is almost identical to edX.org both visibly and functionally.
Edge is where you view the content you create with Studio, our course authoring tool, and where students will view your course. Instructors are encouraged to use Edge to experiment with creating courses. You do not need approval to release a course on Edge—you can create a course and release it immediately.
Edge is where you view the content you create with Studio, our course authoring
tool. Courses on Edge cannot be seen publicly; rather, only you, your
colleagues, and the students with whom you explicitly share a course link can
see your course. Instructors are encouraged to use Edge to experiment with
creating courses. You do not need approval to release a course on Edge--you can
create a course and release it immediately.
Studio (http://studio.edge.edx.org) is our web-based course authoring tool. It is the easiest way for educators to develop courses for the edX platform. You can create courses in Studio and view and enroll in them instantly on Edge—even before you have finished creating the course.
