Collaborative Site Editing

You can set up a Sandvox site for collaborative editing. This is where two or more people work on the site together.

By default Sandvox has saved all of you media into your Sandvox document.

If you have set any media (movies or audio files for example) to not copy into the Sandvox document by unchecking the "copy file into document" box in the object inspector you will need to recheck those boxes and save your site before you can send it to another person for editing.

A typical Sandvox document file in the Finder.

With this in place, you can begin to work on the site as you would any other kind of document. When someone else needs to edit the site, you send them the .sandvox document file and they open it to edit the site. When they are done, they can then send the file back to you.

For a small site, it may be sufficient to simply e-mail the document to each other, but for larger sites, you will probably need to store the document on a remote server; try Dropbox as an alternate for sharing a document between multiple people. And of course, you will need a separate copy of Sandvox for each person working on the site.
