Collaborative Plugin

Plugins are fully functional during your trial once you've added your trial key to the setup.

The Froala Collaboration Plugin brings enterprise-grade collaborative editing features directly to the Froala WYSIWYG Editor.

1. Real-time editing:

Live Syncing keeps every editor instance perfectly in sync in real time. When one user types, all other open instances update instantly — no refresh needed, no conflicts.

A Conflict-free Replicated Data Type (CRDT) engine resolves concurrent edits. Presence indicators show active cursors. WebSocket transport delivers sub-100ms latency.

2. Suggestion Mode Editing:

Writers or reviewers propose changes — insertions, deletions, or rewrites — without directly altering the live document. Document owners accept or reject each suggestion individually or in bulk.

3. Comments:

Highlight any text and attach a threaded comment. Collaborators reply inline, resolve discussions, and @mention teammates — all anchored to the exact content being discussed.

With comments users can:

Threaded replies per comment anchor
@mention to notify specific users
Resolve / reopen discussion threads
Comments sidebar with full thread view
Filter: open, resolved, by author

4. Version Control:

View, compare, and restore previous document versions.

Users can

Browse: Scroll through timestamped snapshots with author attribution
Compare: Side-by-side diff of any two versions
Restore: One-click rollback to any prior state, no data loss
Audit: Full author + timestamp log for compliance requirements

Real-time collaboration and persistence require a backend server. The Collaborative backend ships in the wysiwyg-editor-node-sdk package and is split into four modules: a WebSocket relay for real-time peer sync, REST endpoints for comments and suggestions, a version history store, and an async content-save endpoint. All four can share a single HTTP server and a single SQLite file, and the required better-sqlite3 dependency installs automatically with the package. See Backend API Reference
