Has Webflow implemented the feature that allows multiple users to be in Designer mode at the same time?

TL;DR
  • Only one user can be in Designer mode at a time, while others must use Read-Only Mode or Editor Mode for collaboration.
  • Use Read-Only Mode to preview changes, coordinate editing schedules, and leverage staging tools for team reviews before publishing.

Webflow has not yet implemented a feature that allows multiple users to be in Designer mode simultaneously. Currently, only one user can be in Designer at a time, while others must wait until the active user exits or switches to Read-Only Mode.

1. Current Collaboration Features

  • Read-Only Mode: Multiple users can view the project simultaneously but cannot make edits.
  • Editor Mode: Non-design contributors (e.g., content editors) can update text, images, and CMS items without affecting the design.
  • Permissions & Roles: Webflow offers different role levels (Admin, Designer, Editor) to manage access.

2. Alternatives & Workarounds

  • Use Read-Only Mode to Preview Changes: Other team members can follow the active Designer’s progress before taking over.
  • Coordinate Editing Schedules: Teams can set specific times when each member works in the Designer to prevent conflicts.
  • Use Webflow's Staging & Publishing Tools: Designers can publish to a staging domain for team reviews before pushing live.

Summary

Webflow still limits Designer mode to one user at a time, but multiple users can collaborate using Read-Only Mode, Editor Mode, and structured workflow strategies.
