2 Open any project on the remote project library DaVinci Resolve is connected to using the Project Manager.
3 When the project is open, choose File > Multiple User Collaboration.
Once collaboration is enabled, two additional buttons appear at the lower-right corner of the DaVinci Resolve interface, next to the Project Manager and Project Setting buttons. These are the Collaboration Chat and Collaboration buttons.
NOTE: When you enable collaboration, the “Auto conform missing clips as media is added to Media Pool” option in the General Options panel of the Project Settings is automatically disabled, as it interferes with collaborative workflow. Also, Live Save is automatically turned on in the Auto Save panel of the User Preferences, to ensure that all collaborators’ work is saved regularly to avoid conflicts between collaborators.

At this point, anyone else who has access to this remote project library server can simply open this project up and work collaboratively with you. Whenever a collaborator opens the same project you’re working in, the Collaboration Chat button at the bottom of the DaVinci Resolve UI highlights to let you know you have a message.
