Design Collaboration Cursors and Presence
Collaboration & Enterprise · real-time
Updated 2026-07-28
- Seeing other people creates trust, but only when it is clear.
- Show presence:
- Who is active.
- Where they are working.
- What they are changing.
- Avoid unnecessary distraction:
- Too many moving indicators create noise.
- Make ownership clear:
- Who edited.
- Who commented.
- Who is responsible.
- Presence should answer:
- Is someone here?
- What are they doing?
- Does it affect me?
- Collaboration features should increase awareness, not create chaos.
