Like other apps supporting iCloud collaboration, the feature works by generating a link which grants collaborators access to the shared files, provided they have the source app installed.

The way this works is simple: from your documents library, tapping a document’s title will open a context menu where Collaborate is a new option or, while working in a document, tapping the share icon will also reveal the Collaborate option. The latest app to add iCloud collaboration is GoodNotes, which in today’s version 5.5 enables you to share documents with other GoodNotes users so you can work together in the same document at once. While iCloud doesn’t provide the kind of instant, real-time collaboration found with a service like Google Docs, the undisputed king of this domain, it’s nonetheless a solid option that provides valuable utility in apps that support it. On Apple’s platforms the company offers its native iCloud collaboration features that apps can adopt, and which are also available in first-party apps like Notes, Reminders, and the iWork suite. One of the tech trends I expect has been accelerated by the current state of the world is a demand for collaboration features in software. It might take you a bit of time to see how this will fit your use cases, but once you give that some thought, it will open up new opportunities for you to use the app. And like Shortcuts, Scriptable, and others, Drafts benefits greatly from these new changes.

While most apps will benefit from these changes, the productivity category will be greatly helped. Widgets are the hot new feature of the operating systems, along with the visual changes of macOS Big Sur. With the release of iOS and iPadOS 14 this year, it might seem on the surface that the updates to most apps are minimal.

And there’s nothing better to me than a new Drafts update to coincide with new OS features, bringing new uses of the app to my répertoire.

Apps are putting polish on features, the full update scope is set, and everything starts to feel stable. Not because of the weather – summer where I live – but rather it’s when beta season is in full swing. One of my favorite times every year is right around the beginning of August.
