Quarantined meme makers and beleaguered graphic designers can quietly rejoice that Adobe is making it easier to collaborate on some of its flagship products.
It’s a small adjustment to the quality of life, but if you use Photoshop, Illustrator or Fresco and collaborate with other people, the “Invite to edit” button will likely become a part of your everyday life. Adobe announced the feature Tuesday, and it should already have been rolled out to users’ updated apps. Just look up at the right corner of the interface and you should see a button that looks like this:
If you click on the button, a field will open to invite an employee via his email address. A successful connection will share the document within the program between multiple parties, but unfortunately only one person can work on it at a time.
Still, it’s better than sending and resending and resending LASTforReal7.psd via email every time a member of the team makes a small adjustment. And version history is supported in collaboration documents.

Adobe has also added the ability to sync brushes, swatches, gradients, patterns, styles and shapes across devices with your Creative Cloud account.
The new features are now available for desktop, iPad and iPhone apps.
