Collaboration

How Contributors Work

Contributors make suggestions by editing your project's files. Here's what that workflow looks like.

The contributor's side

A local contributor (typically an AI agent) edits files directly in your workspace. Stet detects the edit, captures it as a proposal, and restores your version to disk. The contributor's change appears in the sidebar for you to review.

Remote contributors work on a separate branch. When they push changes, Stet discovers the branch and surfaces them in the sidebar.

What contributors can change

Contributors can:

• Edit existing text in any markdown file
• Add new content
• Remove content
• Modify formatting

All of these show up as reviewable suggestions in your interface.

Multiple contributors

Several contributors can work simultaneously, each on their own copy. Their suggestions appear in the sidebar grouped by contributor. You review and decide on each one independently.

Attribution

Every suggestion is tagged with the contributor's name and a note about what they changed. When you accept a suggestion, the attribution is preserved — your document's history shows who contributed what.

No live editing

Contributors don't edit your document directly or in real time. They propose changes that you review at your own pace. This gives you full control over what goes into your documents.
