Collaborate on your newsletter in real time. No more copy-paste or lost versions.



If you&#8217;ve ever drafted a newsletter in Google Docs, pasted it into your email editor, and then spent 20 minutes fixing broken formatting, you know the pain of disconnected workflows.



For creator teams, this pain multiplies. Your writer drafts in Docs. Your editor reviews in another tab. Your designer tweaks images somewhere else. By the time everything makes it into your email platform, you&#8217;re reformatting, reconciling changes, and wondering if this version is actually the final one.



That&#8217;s why we built <a href="https://help.kit.com/en/articles/12302470-collaborating-on-broadcasts-with-your-team-members" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collaborative email editing</a> for Kit, so your team can work together where your newsletter actually lives.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why collaborative editing matters for creator teams</h2>



With collaborative editing, multiple team members can work on newsletters simultaneously directly in Kit&#8217;s email editor. No more platform-hopping. No more copy-paste headaches. Just seamless teamwork where your newsletter actually lives.



Think Google Docs, but built specifically for email newsletters.



When you&#8217;re running a real creator business with multiple revenue streams, publishing consistent, high-quality newsletters is how you stay connected to your audience. But the traditional workflow—drafting in one tool, editing in another, designing somewhere else—steals time you could spend creating value.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to collaborate on newsletters in real time</h2>



The content team workflow: Your writer drafts the body copy while your editor polishes the intro, both working at the same time. Someone spots a typo three paragraphs down? They fix it instantly while others keep working. No version conflicts, no &#8220;which draft is final?&#8221; confusion.



The launch day workflow: Your team lead finalizes the main content while your designer drops in graphics and your copywriter tweaks CTAs. Everyone sees changes in real-time. When it&#8217;s ready, it&#8217;s ready. No last-minute &#8220;wait, did you see my edits?&#8221; Slack messages.



The approval workflow: Your strategist reviews the newsletter while making inline suggestions. Your founder jumps in to adjust messaging. All changes happen live, all feedback is immediate. What used to take three rounds of &#8220;can you look at this?&#8221; now happens in one focused session.
