CollaboratorsIconEach user that is in realtime collaboration is displayed and can be identified by the profile avatar and initials of the first and/or the last name. The first 4 collaborators are listed directly on the toolbar, while the rest are available in a dropdown menu. You can click on a collaborator to see where that user is typing (the content is scrolled to that location).user-profile.png
Summarize ChangesDrop-up actionSame as "Summarize & Done", except that there is no option for "Minor change", as clicking the "Save" button keeps editing the Page after saving the current changes.summarize-changes-popup.png

FAQ

Why do I see different edit actions?

XWiki <16.10.6, <17.3.0 We used to have a different set of Actions before we redesigned the UI for the Realtime In-place editor.
