Realtime Presence

Realtime Presence shows you who else is working in a table while you are in it. Everyone currently viewing the table appears as an avatar in the toolbar, and each collaborator is assigned a colour that identifies everything they do in the grid.

What you see

• Focused cell - The cell a collaborator has selected is outlined in their colour, with their name on the marker. When several collaborators are on the same cell, the marker stacks their names (e.g. "Alice +1"). Cell markers are scoped to the view: you only see cursors of collaborators in the same view as you.

  

• Open records - Records a collaborator has opened show a presence badge in the expanded record and in the side panel, and the record's row in the grid carries an accent bar in their colour. The row marker shows even if they opened the record from a different view of the table.

  

  

• Field editing - While a collaborator has a field's settings open for editing, that field's header is underlined in their colour.

  

• Sidebar - Tables with active collaborators show their avatars next to the table name in the sidebar.

Jump to a collaborator

Click a collaborator's avatar in the toolbar to see their name and the table they are currently in, then choose Go there to jump directly to the cell they are working on, even if it is in a different table. This is handy when you are walking through data together on a call.

Notes

• Presence does not lock anything: collaborators can still edit the same data, and NocoDB warns you when someone else is already editing the record you are in.
• Presence appears only to members of the base who have the table open. Viewers of a publicly shared view are not shown.
