I invited a person as a Co-Autor to my world. They weren't able to see any of the advanced tools or use them (To-Dos, Chronicles etc.).   I don't know if this is maybe by design? They don't have a guild membership and I have a Grandmaster membership.

Steps to Reproduce

Invite Person as a Co-Owner, let them create a to-do. They can't see them themselves but the owner of the world can.

As soon as the person subscribed with a monthly membership all of this worked, just to be clear here.

Hi Rowatt, while accessing a Guild members' world as a co-author doesn't require a Guild membership, it's probably an access bug that was solved because they got a membership. Just to be clear, your co-author could see the sidebar icons, but upon clicking the list was empty and they couldn't create new ones?

I'm glad this got posted. I can confirm that as a co-owner of a world, I used to be able to add and see the to-dos. It was a major selling point that only one of us would have to buy guild membership in order to collaborate. The new update has removed that and I am relieved to see this is not a change in policy.   If it helps: I'm on a Mac and Firefox.

@Rowatt - which level of co-author are your collaborators? Writer, Advanced Writer, Editor or Co-Owner? If you have collaborators at different levels, do they all experience the same issue? Or is only scoped to some roles?   trekman10 - Are you able to view the world's Advanced Tools? Ie, if you're on the world that you're a co-owner , can you see the list of Chronicles, Calendars, Historical Events, etc.? I know you mentioned the to-dos not showing, but this might be because that particular thing had a lot of changes recently, but the other tools should be working fine (in theory).

@Xuroth She was/is a Co-Owner which didn't work and we also had the same issue with Advanced Writer, we didn't try the other permissions.   She was able to see the list and view them but for her there was no content at all in those lists. She was able to create new To-Dos and Chronicles though, but whe also was not able to view those.   So, yes, it is as you describe with the difference that she was actually able to create new entries but she had no possibility to see or view those created entries, I as the world owner was able to see them though.

We've made a fix that should address this bug! Can you please try it again let me know if you can now properly see all the list items? (since your co-author is now a guild member and it works already for them, you can try with another account or leave it for @trekman10 who had the same issue)

Hi, looks like it's fixed. I can see the list again.

Rowatt @ 06 May, 2024 05:12:46

It works for us now too!
