To invite collaborators to your Squarespace account:

  1. Open the Permissions and Ownership panel and click "Invite Collaborator"
  2. Enter the collaborator's name and email address
  3. Set appropriate permissions:
    • Administrator (full access)
    • Individual permissions for specific tasks
  4. Click "Invite" to send the invitation

Important Notes:

  • Only owners and administrators can invite collaborators
  • Personal plans allow one collaborator
  • Other plans allow unlimited collaborators
  • Multiple simultaneous editors may overwrite each other's work
  • Collaborators need a Squarespace account to accept invitations

Managing Invitations:

If the invitation email isn't received:

  1. Ask them to check spam folder for [email protected]
  2. Access the collaborator's profile under "Sent Invitations"
  3. Copy and share the Invitation Link manually

Editing Pending Invitations:

  • Click the collaborator's name in "Sent Invitations"
  • Modify permission levels as needed
  • Cancel invitation using "..." menu if necessary

After Acceptance:

  • Edit permissions anytime
  • Remove collaborators as needed
  • Collaborators can edit their own profile information

Best Practices:

  • Coordinate editing times to prevent overwrites
  • Share the Guide to Accepting an Invitation with new collaborators
  • Regularly review and update permissions
  • Consider Enterprise solutions for bulk site management

Domain-specific collaborators have different setups and should refer to domain permissions documentation for guidance.
