1Overview

Collaborate creates or joins a shared review room. Free rooms support up to three connected users. A Map Pro host can run a ten-user room, while API-hosted larger Pro sessions are used above five connected users when that service is available.

Use this guide when

A reviewer, designer and receiver need to discuss the same mapped submission in real time.

2Before you begin

  • Confirm project information is approved for live sharing.
  • Use a reliable internet connection.
  • Agree who will host and which file/state should be reviewed.

3Room capacity and persistence

Live rooms share review state within explicit tier and service limits.

Feature or choiceCurrent behaviour
Free capacitySupports rooms with up to three connected users.Small review sessions can run without Map Pro hosting.
Map Pro capacityA Map Pro host can run ten-user rooms; larger Pro sessions above five users can use API-hosted room infrastructure.Capacity and hosting behaviour match the current account tier and service state.
Shared stateCollaboration synchronises supported live review state, not an uncontrolled overwrite of original XML files.Source corrections still require the appropriate authoring or Map Pro export workflow.

4Run a shared review

Choose the correct host capacity, verify connection, review, then close with recorded actions.

5Product differences

The task is shared where possible, but selection, interface integration and model operations follow the host shown below.

infrADAC MAP

Free accounts can host or join rooms up to the current three-user capacity.

6Troubleshooting

The room is full

Check the current participant limit. Ask an inactive participant to leave or use a Map Pro host when a larger approved session is required.

Participants see different state

Confirm everyone joined the same room and that the connection status is active. Re-select the agreed file and map mode after reconnecting.

The room disconnects

Preserve the room identifier, check service status and reconnect. Record decisions outside the room when network reliability is poor.
