Naming the release
Shared notes.
Write together.
Edit in real time, track projects, and lay work out on whiteboards in your team's shared workspace.
Bring your teammates in.
If you own the workspace, invite anyone by email. They accept, and they’re in - no signup form, no password to pick.
They land in the workspace with the team’s notes, projects and boards, just as you left them.
Write in the same note, even the same sentence.
Both edits stay. Nobody’s version replaces anybody else’s, nothing is locked or checked out, and nobody waits for a turn.
Each cursor carries its owner’s name, so you can see who is typing and where.
An empty shared note being written by two people. punko names it “Launch week” and writes the first sentence, “The changelog goes out Thursday - no new copy.” Then they go back into the middle of that sentence to add “, right after standup” while Nadia, at the same time, adds “, just the screenshots” further along it - each with a cursor carrying their name - and the sentence ends up carrying both edits rather than one replacing the other. Nadia adds the line after it, and the two of them build the checklist between them, ticking items off while the other is still typing.
Lay it out on one board.
The whole workspace on one canvas, every pointer named. Stickies, shapes and arrows move for everyone, and any sticky becomes a task or a note.
A brainstorm board titled “Naming the release”, open to Dean and Mara at once, with one round timer at the top. Mara’s note is a chain of blocks - a title, a paragraph and a list of names - and she adds a checklist block to the end of it and writes “Ask the three of them”. At the same time Dean drags an edge from his own note, “Before we commit”, to a loose checklist, chaining it on. A diamond shape and a link card sit beside them.
Nobody gets a read-only seat.
Everyone you invite works on every note in the workspace, with no per-note permissions to manage. The owner does the same, and also runs the workspace.

Leaving doesn't take the notes.
Members leave from the workspace switcher whenever they like, or the owner removes them. Their notes stay where they are, and any whiteboard they made passes to the owner.
One login for every team.
Somebody in two teams sees both shared workspaces in one switcher, next to their own. No second account to keep.
Share one note with anyone, and only that note.
Switch on a public link and send it to a client, an editor, a friend who asked. They open it without an account and read the note with its drawings and files - they can’t change a word, and they can’t see anything else in the workspace.
Switch the link off and it stops working for everyone who has it.
The settings of the note “Launch week”. The public link is switched on, the note gets the address bricknote.io/s/k4Xn2pQ7vR9tLm3s, and the link is copied. Then it is switched off again: the address is struck through and stops working.
The useful answers.
Still have a question? Talk to us.
How long does an invitation stay active?
Seven days. If it runs out, the workspace owner sends a new one from the Members page.
Can I see who wrote what?
Each note records who created it, shown in the note's settings. Edits inside a note are not attributed line by line - while you are both in it, the named cursors show who is where.
Are there comments or version history?
Not today. Everybody works on the current text of the note, and the conversation about it happens in the note itself.
Is everything in a shared workspace shared?
The notes, projects, statuses and files are. Theme, page width and whether a project opens as a list or a board stay yours, so each person keeps the workspace set up the way they like.
How is a shared workspace paid for?
Shared workspaces are on the Team plan, billed per member and paid by the owner. The prices are on the pricing page.
What happens if the Team plan lapses?
The shared workspace becomes read-only for everyone in it. The notes stay and stay readable, and writing resumes when the subscription does.
