Getting started

Invite your crew and collaborators

Beginner4 min readUpdated May 2026

Curtyn is built to be worked in together. Instead of emailing documents back and forth, you give each person a seat in the project and they work alongside you. This guide covers inviting people and choosing the right level of access for each.

Before you start

You'll need a project you own. If you haven't created one, follow “Set up your first production in Curtyn” first.

1

Open the project's people panel

From inside the project, open the People panel. It lists everyone with a seat, what kind of seat they hold, and when they were last active.

2

Send an invite by email

Enter the email address of the person you want to add. They get an invite link, and once they accept, they land straight in the project. They don't need to be added to anything twice.

3

Choose the right seat

Pick the seat that matches how the person works on the shoot. A collaborator can open and edit the tools they need. A reviewer can see the work and leave feedback, but not change it. The owner is you.

Pick the lightest seat that works

You can change a seat later, so start a client or an outside editor as a reviewer. If they need to edit, it is one click to move them up.

4

Set what each person can reach

A seat covers the whole project by default. If someone only needs one part of it, you can narrow them to the tools that concern them, so a client sees the review and nothing else.

5

Manage seats as the production moves

People come and go across a shoot. From the People panel you can change a seat, pause access, or remove someone entirely. Their comments and contributions stay in the project after they leave.
