Your projects

All Riddle plans are multi-user so you can collaborate on Riddles with colleagues and clients.

Additional project ideas

You might also want to add projects separated by:

  • Language
    You might be supporting sites across multiple languages, so we recommend Riddle's publishing partners create projects for each language (French, Spanish, etc.).
  • Department
    One project for marketing, another for editorial, and so on.
  • Client
    This is especially true for agencies using Riddle. Client-specific projects help them collaborate while limiting their visibility and access to their content only.

Content locking

When multiple team members work on the same Riddle simultaneously, Riddle uses granular content locking to ensure smooth collaboration without conflicts.

How it works

Previously, if someone was editing a Riddle, the entire Riddle would be locked and unavailable to other users. Now, Riddle uses granular locking that only locks the specific parts of the Creator where another user is actively working.

What gets locked:

  • The specific block being edited
  • The settings group currently being modified
  • The publish settings section if someone is configuring publish options
  • The Analyze tab if someone is viewing analytics

What stays accessible:

  • Other blocks in the Riddle
  • Other settings groups
  • Other sections of the Creator

Benefits

  • Better collaboration: Multiple team members can work on different parts of the same Riddle simultaneously
  • No conflicts: You'll see a visual indicator when a specific section is locked by another user
  • More efficient: No need to wait for someone to finish editing before you can start working
  • Clear communication: You can see exactly which parts are in use and by whom

Visual indicators

When a section is locked by another user, you'll see:

  • A lock icon indicating which part is currently being edited
  • The name of the user who is currently editing that section
  • A message indicating that the section will be available once the other user finishes

This granular approach makes collaboration smoother and more efficient, allowing teams to work together without stepping on each other's toes.

Top tips

  • You can create unlimited workspaces / projects with Riddle and then invite any of your colleagues or clients for $19 per month (see our pricing here).
  • Don't worry - each user can belong to any number of projects. They will only be counted as a single user.
  • Create a minimum of two projects, one for finished Riddles, the other for drafts. When your team finalizes a Riddle, they should transfer the Riddle to the finished project.
