Document Collaboration

Updated till version 4.0.7

The VNCpad allows you to add one or more pads to write on, for example for notes during an online meeting, and has a text editor with basic text formatting options like bold, italic, underlined and strikethrough text, lists with numbers or bullet points and indent text. In addition, you can add a table for organizing information.

VNCpad also highlights every participant‘s contribution to the VNCpad in a different color and in real-time. These colors can be removed when the document is finished.

Whenever a user opens and edits a VNCpad, a status dot appears to indicate the document has been updated. This dot is visible to other users, but the person who made the update won’t see it for their own changes. Once another user opens the document, the indicator disappears for that user.

Each user has an individual view of this indicator. For example, in a group chat:

• User A updates the VNCpad but doesn’t see the update indicator.
• Users B and C both see the indicator.
• If User B opens the document, the indicator disappears for them, but User C will still see it until they open the document as well.
