Best Practices
Use descriptive project names
Name projects clearly (e.g., 'Q1 2024 Research Paper') so team members can find them easily.
Set clear roles early
Assign appropriate permissions when inviting members. It's easier to grant more access than restrict it.
Use comments for feedback
Comments create a record of discussions. Use them instead of making direct edits when reviewing.
Enable notifications
Turn on notifications for important projects to stay updated on changes and mentions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many team members can I have?
Free plans support up to 3 team members. Individual plans support up to 5 members, and Team plans support unlimited members. Check the pricing page for details.
Can I be in multiple teams?
Yes! You can create and join multiple teams. Each team has its own projects, documents, and settings. Switch between teams using the team selector in the sidebar.
How do I transfer ownership?
Go to Team Settings > Members, find the member you want to make owner, click their menu, and select 'Transfer Ownership'. You'll need to confirm this action.
What happens when someone leaves the team?
When a member leaves or is removed, they lose access to all team projects and documents. Their individual contributions (comments, edits) remain visible with their name.
Can I restrict access to specific documents?
Yes. By default, team members can access all projects. You can restrict specific projects to select members using project-level permissions.
How do I resolve edit conflicts?
Helse handles most conflicts automatically with real-time sync. If two people edit the same line simultaneously, you'll see both versions and can choose which to keep.
