To invite and manage collaborators on Squarespace:

Collaborators are team members with a Squarespace account who can edit your site's content. The number of collaborators you can add depends on your plan:

  • Personal Plan: 1 collaborator
  • Other Plans: Unlimited collaborators

To invite a collaborator:

  1. Open the Permissions and Ownership panel
  2. Click "Invite Collaborator"
  3. Enter their name and email
  4. Set permission levels based on their role
  5. Click "Invite"

The collaborator will receive an email to either log in or create a Squarespace account.

Important considerations:

  • Only owners and administrators can invite collaborators
  • Multiple simultaneous editors may overwrite each other's work
  • Parking pages only allow administrator permissions
  • Domain-only accounts have different collaboration settings

If invitation emails aren't received:

  1. Check spam folder for [email protected]
  2. Use the manual invitation link from Sent Invitations

Managing invitations:

  • Edit permissions before acceptance by clicking the collaborator's name
  • Cancel invitations using the "..." menu
  • Remove collaborators after they've joined
  • Collaborators can edit their own profile information

Best practices:

  • Coordinate with collaborators to avoid overlapping edits
  • Send new collaborators the acceptance guide
  • Regularly review and update permissions as needed

For enterprise solutions with multiple collaborators, custom arrangements are available through Squarespace's Enterprise program.
