You needA project you shared, and a guest with a connected copy who sent changes back.

Try it in Plotlay → Opens an example project with this lesson beside it. Nothing to install.

Steps

  1. When a guest sends changes back you get a notification, and Proposals appears in the top bar with a count.
  2. Choose Proposals. Each change is listed with its outline Now and Proposed, side by side, and what it changes.
    Reviewing Wider kitchen and a studio from Sam Builder: the Kitchen changed and a new Studio, each with Now and Proposed outlines and Accept or Reject, plus Accept all, Reject all, Later and Apply decisions.
  3. Choose Accept or Reject for each, or Accept all or Reject all. Something you changed since they copied it starts as Reject.
  4. Choose Apply decisions. Everything you accepted goes in as one step, so Undo takes it all back. Later leaves the proposal waiting.
  5. The guest is told what you accepted. Their copy stays linked, so your later changes reach them when they pull.

Tips

  • Accepted changes are ordinary edits: change them afterwards like anything else.
  • Reject is not a reply. Leave a comment on the place to say why, so the guest knows what to try next.

Common mistakes

  • Accepting a change that starts as Reject without looking: it replaces your own newer version of that thing.
  • Choosing Accept all on a large proposal: look at each outline first. Undo takes them back, but only until you change something else.
