Hur använder jag NVivo Collaboration Cloud?

The below information applies for NVivo versions 15 and 14. If you are using NVivo R1/2020 you can only access the legacy version of Collaboration Cloud, have look here. - Which NVivo version do I have?

(NVivo 12 and older versions of NVivo are not compatible with NVivo Collaboration Cloud.​)

The Collaboration Cloud with NVivo 15 or 14 is an add-on module allowing teams to collaborate in real-time on NVivo projects. Projects are uploaded by the Project Manager to a secure place in the cloud and team members clone the cloud project onto their computers from where they can work on the cloud project. It is also possible for team members to work on the project off-line and it will be synced with the cloud project when they next have a connection to the Internet.

With NVivo 15, you can share and manage projects from within NVivo Windows application. NVivo 15 desktop application allows team members to work cross-platform (with both Windows and Mac) on a single project and their local changes are automatically synchronized to the shared common project file. All users require internet connection for synchronizing their changes.

NOTE Both NVivo 15 and NVivo 14 users can collaborate on the same shared cloud project.

Legacy Version: Create a workspace with NVivo R1/2020

For NVivo 13 (2020, R1), The account administrator assigns workspace owner and (optionally) additional administrator roles from the USERS page.

1. A workspace owner uploads an NVivo project to Collaboration Cloud, creating a workspace (of the same name) for the project. The uploaded file is version 1 (V1) of the master file.
2. The workspace owner is automatically made a workspace manager for the workspace.
3. The workspace owner/manager opens the workspace and adds other users to it. They must be assigned workspace roles: workspace manager, collaborator, or both.
4. By default, V1 of the master file is 'shared' with collaborators, meaning it is made available for them to download.
