Any collaboration features built into Inkscape?
Hi all,
I'm writing a book, and one chapter compares and contrasts vector drawing programs. This specific section is about several people in several cities getting together via Jitsi or Zoom or GotoMeeting or whatever and working on a diagram together. I'd envision one participant making changes, then another participant, etc. I wouldn't anticipate two doing it simultaneously: That would be a recipe for disaster.
So does Inkscape in any way facilitate this kind of collaboration?
Thanks,
SteveT

Hi Steve,
Inkscape used to have this kind of functionality called "Inkboard", but it was removed because it was hard to maintain. Though it's still possible to use older versions of inkscape, it's not generally recommended because of the limitations.

Thanks Martin!
Your answer gives me the right info to put in my book.
I think it would be easy to put collaboration into Inkscape (well, sort of into). Use Git, and as each person makes their little change, they git commit and then git push. When somebody wants to make a change, they commit and everybody re-updates.
