When you're editing an app and become inactive for two hours, a **Continue editing** dialog box is displayed, asking if you want to continue editing the app or switch to read-only. If you don't respond, the system informs you that you were inactive and puts you in read-only mode, so other readers can to become the editor.

Coauthoring allows multiple makers to edit a canvas app at the same time. When more than one person is editing an app, you'll see presences indicators showing where another maker is working on the app and see their changes in real time.

Live updates is a new experimental feature that works similarly to copresence. The user who opens the app first has the editing privileges. When another user attempts to open the app, a notification is displayed, informing them that someone else is currently editing the app and they're limited to read-only access. The benefit of live updates is that you can see in real-time the changes that are being made by the maker editing the app without the need to refresh the app.
