Collaborative Projects

AVAnnotate provides different options for collaboration, which include:

Add Collaborator

The project creator can add another GitHub user via the project settings page. The added user has the ability to add, edit, and delete all project components. The additional collaborator will not have access to add additional project collaborators or make a project private.

This video demonstrates how to add a collaborator to an AVAnnotate project via the 'Add Collaborator' function.

Collaborating via GitHub Organizations

Managing collaborators through a GitHub Organization allows multiple project authors to access any AVAnnotate project created under that account. One benefit of this approach is sustainability. An AVAnnotate project built via a GitHub Organization isn’t owned by a single author but by the Organization itself. This way, an AVAnnotate project can support long-term initiatives or multi-institutional collaborations without the confusion of individual ownership.

Visit this page on managing GitHub collaborators for more information on creating a GitHub Organization.
