## Description

**As** a user  
**I want to** edit documents at the same time as my colleagues  
**so that** we can work together easier

**Acceptance criteria**

  - Multiple users can edit a document simultaneously

  - Show the current cursor of all participating users

  - Showing a list of connected users is defined in a separate  <mention class="mention" data-id="68420" data-type="work_package" data-text="##68420">\#\#68420</mention>

**Technical notes**

  - We will be using a Hocuspocus server

  - CRDTs need to share a common root, we think this can only be achieved by having a central place that creates the initial CRDT.

**Permissions and visibility considerations**

  - Only on community at the beginning so that we can test it and learn about resource consumption
