Requesting editor access

If viewers need editor permissions, they can request access at the project level:

  1. Click Request Editor Access.

  2. The project owner will receive an email and can approve the request with one click.

Notes:

  • New editors will be given full permissions by default, but other editors can adjust these later.

  • If the user is not already a project or team editor, adding them as an editor will incur an extra charge on the next bill.
