Bringing real-time collaboration or collaborative editing to WordPress will be the focus of the third phase of the Gutenberg project. It started off with the block editor in WordPress 5.0 and has by now progressed to Full-Site Editing aka the WordPress Site Editor. Adding real-time collaboration will be the second-to-last phase, while the final phase will add native multilingual capabilities.
Lead Architect Matias Ventura recently posted a preliminary outline of what is planned for Phase 3. The planned changes will not only bring new functionality to WordPress but also necessitate rebuilding (large) parts of its interface. The developers also predict that collaborative editing is going to be the most challenging to build due to the scope.
Reason enough to take a detailed look at what we can expect. In the following, we will go over what real-time collaboration is, what’s planned for this update, and the consequences for the WordPress platform. We will also go over ways you can already try out more collaborative workflows on your WordPress website right now.
