Collaboration is at the core of Fusion, and in today\u2019s flexible work landscape, it\u2019s more important than ever. Fusion enables teams to work together anytime, anywhere, opening up the possibility for remote or hybrid work models in the design and make industries. There are many ways to collaborate and engage with your team (and even external stakeholders) in Fusion\u2014here are just a few.<\/p>\n\n\n

Creating a team in Fusion and organizing projects\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n

The first step to collaborating with your teammates is to create a team in Fusion. Once you create a team, you can invite your collaborators and get started on your next project.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A team in Fusion allows you to enable\/disable design<\/a> reservation, enable role-based security settings, reference almost any CAD file without translation via AnyCAD, and re-use designs between projects in your team with cross-project references. Teams also provide the core data management tools needed for a design organization, including a history of the design for traceability a ‘where used’ capability to analyze the impact of changes, and an integrated viewer to visualize design data.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your organization only needs one team in Fusion, so be sure to check with stakeholders before creating a new team. View step-by-step instructions on how to create a team here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a project has been created, folders and subfolders can also be created to help organize data or emulate an existing folder structure that users will recognize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need quick feedback from an external collaborator, there are two ways to go about this. They can access data through Fusion Team where they can participate in the design and make process by adding additional files, viewing designs, adding comments and markups, and exporting design data to additional formats that they may need for manufacturing or getting outside quotes from suppliers. Or, simply create a share link (with password protection if needed), and you’re all set to share your project.

Accessing your Fusion data on the go\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n

As hybrid and remote working conditions become the norm, it\u2019s more important than ever to be able to access your data anytime, anywhere, and on any device. You can access your Fusion data via our web app and iOS\/Android apps, enabling you and your team to collaborate in separate locations and check project progress on the go. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
