To add a collaborator to your course watch this short how-to video or follow the text instructions below:
First go to the Collaborator section in your course.

Access types
Below we cover the main differences between what actions an author and a reviewer can take when added as a collaborator, it’s important to note an author can make permanent changes to a course and publish, allowing changes to flow out to any current activations.
An author will have full access to edit, view, archive and publish your course.
A reviewer will have 'read only' access, and while they can view and make notes on your content, they are unable to edit the content or publish the course. When a course is published, reviewers can no longer make comments. Review notes are deleted when the course is published. They are not visible to learners.
Editing content with other authors
While authors can be working on the same course at the same time, only one author can work on any particular page at a time. If an author navigates to a page in a course that someone else is currently editing, a message will display at the top of the page telling them who is working on it, and when they started that work. The author won’t be able to make any changes to that page until the other author has saved their work or exited that page.
Once an author leaves the page any other author viewing the page is instantly alerted that the new content is available, and are provided with a link they can follow to take them to the page.. They are now able to make their own edits.
