Studio Updates

We have also managed to squeeze in a few updates to the Celtx Studios.

Studio Sub-Seats - Administrator Account

Every Celtx Studio now includes an Administrator feature enabling the Studio owner to create and assign sub-seats to project collaborators and Preview viewers. The idea is to make it easier for small teams to work together without requiring casual collaborators to obtain a paid account.

The entry level personal Studio now includes 5 seats - 1 Administrator account plus 4 sub-seats. This change is retroactive, so any Studio you acquire before the change will get the same updated extra seats.

After creating the Studio, the Admin account holder will be able to assign usernames and passwords for each of the 4 sub-seats. Passwords can be changed by the Administrator, so the seats can be re-cycled.

Each sub-seat holder has access to a full featured Studio (less the Admin privileges) to enable sharing, storing etc. of celtx Projects. However, the Administrator has continued access to the account details of each sub-seat.

Share Options

We have added some additional Share features to the Studios.

The new Share features allow the person sharing a Project to choose between providing collaborators with either Full or Limited access. Full access allows the collaborator to post edits to the Shared Project. Limited access prevents a collaborator from contributing edits until their status is changed back to Full.

New Payment Offerings

We have added new monthly payment options, and a quick set-up for creating large multiple seat Studios. We’ll be soon be adding the ability tp pay through Paypal.
