Collaborate on your smartphone
Invite writers to collaborate
If you'd like to co-write, collect feedback or suggested edits from another writer (or many writers!), you can invite them to your document.
Check out our full guide to collaborating to learn about collaboration roles, invite links, managing collaborators, and more!
To invite others on mobile:
Open the Collaborators panel in the right-hand sidebar.
Click Invite new
Choose a role for your collaborator
Enter their email, or Invite them via shareable link
Learn more about invites and permissions.
Add comments on mobile
Comments let you and your collaborators discuss changes directly inside documents. If you've been invited as a commenter to a doc, you can annotate specific passages, leave feedback, reply to existing threads, or react with GIFs, all from your phone. (Check out our full guide to comments for more about drafts and commenting.)
Here's how to leave comments on mobile:
Create a draft
Highlight the text you want to comment on
Tap the comment icon at the top of your screen
Type your comment and tap the Send icon
Add gifs to comments
Ellipsus lets you comment and reply to comments with GIFs (via Giphy integration). To add a GIF:
Open the comment input, and tap the GIF icon
Search for the perfect reaction
Tap to insert, with or without accompanying text
Read comments on mobile
Mobile comments have been redesigned to be smoother, faster, and easier to navigate, especially in long threads.
Bottom-sheet comments
Tap any comment to open a bottom sheet. You can:
Flip through comments using the arrows at the top of the sheet
View each thread without losing your place in the document
Move between comment threads while staying anchored in your draft
View all comments
You can also see every comment in the document in one scrollable list.
From the bottom sheet, click View all.
From the right sidebar, and click Comments
Filter by collaborator
You can also filter by collaborator when viewing all comments. Just tap View comments from at the top of the bottom sheet.
You can choose between viewing comments from everyone, comments from a single collaborator, or only comments you've made.
Chat with collaborators
If you've invited a collaborator to your document, instead of switching between apps, you can chat directly together in Ellipsus.
Open the right-hand panel and tap Chat to open a dedicated chat window.
Every document and draft hosts a separate chat, so you can keep your conversations focused and in context.
Share or export your document
It’s easy to share a document or draft on the go. Just navigate to the version you wish to share, then tap on the hamburger menu and tap Share & export to get started.
You can copy a link, download a PDF, or copy the text as HTML, Markdown, Rich Text—even export to AO3!
