Collaborate on a Publish site
Learn how to collaborate on your Obsidian Publish site with other Obsidian users. By adding your friends and colleagues as collaborators, they can publish changes to your site.
Only the site owner needs an active subscription for Obsidian Publish. Collaborators only need an Obsidian account.
Before you publish changes to a shared site, make sure to sync changes between collaborators . Otherwise, you risk overwriting changes from other collaborators.
#
Add a collaborator to a site
- In Ribbon, select Publish changes (
) or open the Command palette and type Publish: Publish changes...
- In the Publish changes dialog, click Change site options
.
- Next to Site collaboration, select Manage.
- In Invite user, enter the email of the collaborator.
- Select Add.
#
Remove a collaborator from a site
- In Ribbon, select Publish changes (
) or open the Command palette and type Publish: Publish changes...
- In the Publish changes dialog, click Change site options (
).
- Next to Site collaboration, select Manage.
- Next to the collaborator you want to remove, select Remove user (
).

Sync changes between collaborators
Obsidian Publish doesn't sync published changes between local vaults automatically. Instead, collaborators need to manually sync changes from other collaborators.
To update a local note with changes from the live site:
- In Ribbon, select Publish changes (
) or open the Command palette and type Publish: Publish changes...
- Right-click or long-press the change you want to sync, and then select Use live version. This will overwrite the note in your local vault.
We recommend that you use another tool to sync changes between vaults, such as Obsidian Sync or git.
