What Is A Collaborator?
The Collaborator role is a Project Participant role that can be given to users with Loopio-wide Projects level 1 (Participant) or level 2 (Creator) permissions.
Collaborators are able to answer or review Project Entries assigned to them and have the ability to see and comment on all questions, including those that are not directly assigned to them.
Once a Project Admin has created a Project and added a Collaborator as a Project Participant, that Collaborator can then see all content within the Project.

Notification Emails
To help you keep on top of your work, Loopio sends notification emails with new Project Entries assigned to you and when a Project Entry has been answered and requires your review.
Notification emails are also sent when a Project Admin nudges you to complete unanswered Entries.
Tip: To learn more about email notifications, read on: When Do Email Notifications Get Sent Out?
Project Workspace: My Tasks
Aside from emails, there are two ways to view Project work that’s ready for your input in Loopio.
Within a Project, select the View My Tasks filter to show all Entries that are ready for you to take action on.
Project Workspace: Participants Filter
From the Project page, you can use the Participants filter to filter down to the Project Entries assigned to a given Project Participant.
Once a Participant has been selected, the Project space will update to show only the Entries assigned to the Participant whom you are currently filtering.
Home Dashboard: Project Tasks
This view displays all Project Entries assigned to you for answer or review and all Project Entries, in order of due date in ascending order (from closest to furthest due date). You can also change the ascending order by clicking each of the column headings.

Answering Project Entries
As a Collaborator, Project Entries can be answered in three different ways: Running Magic, Searching your Library, or manually writing content into the Entry’s answer field.

Reassigning Entries to Other Users
As a Project Collaborator, you can reassign Entries to other Users in a Project. If you'd like to learn about reassigning entries, read more: Who Can Reassign Project Entries?
Commenting on Project Entries
With visibility into all your Project Entries, you can leave comments for your Project Admins. This gives you collaborative capabilities and allows you to provide details to your team. It also allows you to tag a Project Admin if you feel an Entry is not suited for you to answer.
