💡 Collaborate is available on all workspaces (Free, Pro and Power).
Overview
Collaborate is where you can keep track of all of the accounts you're working on, called Collaborations. They can be used as a list that Partner Managers flag to discuss with their team, or that their Sales team has flagged as needing help on. A Partner Manager can take these items, called Collaborations, to create an agenda and to do list for a meeting with partners. Collaborations are shared with partners by default and automatically (learn more).
