### Writing Collective
'The wisdom of the crowd' applies to more than forecasting: Now you can invite co-authors to your question drafts to collaborate and share feedback.

### How Does It Work?
After you create a question draft, click 'Invite Co-authors' at the top of the page or within the ‘...’ options menu.

Invited co-authors will receive email notifications and appear as co-authors at the top of the page. 

#### Co-authors can: 
* edit all question fields
* leave comments

#### Co-authors can not: 
* invite or remove other co-authors
* submit the draft for review

Currently, co-authors can be added to forecast questions only—not discussion posts, notebooks, or public figure predictions. 

### Writer’s Retreat
Co-authors are able to leave the draft by clicking ‘Remove myself as co-author’ at the top of the page or by using the ‘...’ options menu. The question creator can also remove co-authors using the invite interface.
