We’ve been hard at work on collaborative features and improvements to [Submit.as](https://submit.as)! Here’s a walkthrough of some recent updates: > **[Teams and Submit.as updates (June 2020)](https://video.writeas.org/videos/watch/2b436442-4b18-49dd-831a-90ceb75d4e11)** > > Some recent updates to \[Write.as\](https://write.as) and \[Submit.as\](https://submit.as): > > \* Team management > \* Schedule submission prompt publishing > \* Archive prompts > \* Per-blog submission notification settings > \* Filter submissions by current state ---

So if I have a pro subscription and wanna set up a team for something completely unrelated to my blog, do I have to create a new blog? Does this count as an additional pro blog? Anyway thanks for the explanation and this new _very_ usefuf feature (whether this requires to create another pro blog or not). ---

Another question: how much would it cost? ---

@matt I’m confused how sharing blogs works. This video is about Teams. Is that the same as writefreely.host? You talk about Write.as in the video, but I don’t see any options to add people on my dashboard. The current W.a Pro plan has language like the following: ![Image](https://discuss.write.as/uploads/default/original/1X/8a8d451872fb2615373c9395e03ecd38ee284f86.jpeg) I understand that Write Freely is the open source code foundation for everything, but I’m still confused about the different ways to share blogs on the Write.as platform 🤔. ---

> [@veyne](#): > > So if I have a pro subscription and wanna set up a team for something completely unrelated to my blog, do I have to create a new blog? Does this count as an additional pro blog? Yes, in that case you’d create a new blog that the _team_ takes ownership of. Then you and everyone else on the team would have access to it. Would that work for what you have in mind? > [@veyne](#): > > Another question: how much would it cost? It’ll likely start around $35 / month, and allow an unlimited number of team members. It’ll also include our full suite so far – Write.as, Submit.as, and Snap.as. ---

> [@nibl](#): > > @matt I’m confused how sharing blogs works. This video is about Teams. Is that the same as writefreely.host? The “Teams” functionality here is a completely new feature that we’re now rolling out on Write.as. You can think of it as a “beta” feature we’re testing on Write.as, before it makes it into the core WriteFreely software. WriteFreely.host only provides our latest version of WriteFreely (without any beta features), so this is different from that service, yes. > [@nibl](#): > > You talk about Write.as in the video, but I don’t see any options to add people on my dashboard. Teams are only accessible to **Submit.as** users right now – so if you’re interested in that, you can [add Submit.as](https://write.as/extend/submissions) and start inviting people to your team. Otherwise, as we finish up shared blogs, we’ll release a subscription option that makes Teams available to Write.as users. ---

> Yes, in that case you’d create a new blog that the team takes ownership of. Then you and everyone else on the team would have access to it. Would that work for what you have in mind? Gotcha, thanks. Yes it would. Basecamp is overkill and overpriced. This would do the job and in fact be much more pleasant than Basecamp for much cheaper. ---

Thanks @matt that makes it clearer. ---

Happy to help! Just an update: this is now live! You can [create a team and shared blog here](https://write.as/me/orgs/). And there’s more information in our latest announcement: > [@New: Collaborative Blogs](https://discuss.write.as/t/new-collaborative-blogs/1608): > > Hey everyone! I’m excited to announce that collaborative blogs are now available on Write.as tada This comes as part of the team collaboration features we’ve been working on for a while now, that’s only been available to Submit.as users so far. Now, anyone can start a team and collaborate across products that support it – today, just Write.as and Submit.as. While logged in, you can [get started here](https://write.as/me/orgs/). A subscription comes with a free 14-day trial, then costs $35/month when billed annually. It… ---

The [Pricing — Write.as](https://write.as/pricing) page describes the Team plan (my emphasis): > _ **Gather submissions** _, collaborate, and publish to a shared publication. but in the actual comparison table shows that Submit.as is a paid addon just like for the other tiers ---

Yep, after feedback and a little more thought on this, we decided that the Team plan should be a base subscription for multiple users, with the option to add other features on top of it, like Submit.as. This has made the most sense so far, so we can offer our products separately without making people commit to the entire suite (notice how Submit.as has its own [pricing page](https://submit.as/pricing)). I can definitely see how that wording for the Team plan could be misleading, though. So we’ll tweak that a bit to make it clearer. I appreciate the input!
