Collaborators in the same project as you are in color, and have a cursor color. Collaborators in other projects are shown in gray. Collaborators that have access to the current project will have their own cursor color under their avatar.

We aim to eliminate the distinction between local and remote projects as much as possible. Collaborators can open, edit, and save files, perform searches, interact with the language server, etc. Guests have a read-only view of the project, including access to language server info.

#### Unshared Projects

If a collaborator is currently in a project that is not shared, you will not be able to jump to their project or follow them until they either share the project or return to a project that is shared.

If you are in a project that isn't shared, others will not be able to join it or see its contents.

### Follow a collaborator

To follow a collaborator, click on their avatar in the top right of the window. You can also cycle through collaborators using `workspace: follow next collaborator` (`ctrl-alt-cmd-f`).

When you join a project, you'll immediately start following the collaborator that invited you.


Title: Project Collaboration: Color-Coded Collaborators, Unshared Projects, and Following
Summary
Collaborators in the same project are color-coded and have colored cursors, while those in different projects appear in gray. Guests have read-only access. You cannot follow collaborators in unshared projects. To follow a collaborator, click their avatar or use `ctrl-alt-cmd-f`. Joining a project automatically starts you following the inviting collaborator.
