# Collaboration Synchronous collaboration with other scholars or across computers is not currently supported, but we are working hard to develop a system for asynchronous collaboration. You can save a Tropy project anywhere, on your hard drive, on an external drive, on a cloud drive. If you want others to be able to access the project and use it, you may need to set up a portable project (read how to do that [here](https://forums.tropy.org/t/testing-portable-project-files/1003)). #### Read-only mode If you are working with a project team, and the research is complete, you may want to make your project read-only so that you or your collaborators don't accidentally change things in your project unexpectedly. Tropy now supports read-only projects. To make a project read-only in Windows, read [here](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/windows-server-cookbook/0596006330/ch04s14.html). To make a project read-only on Mac, read [here](https://www.howtogeek.com/669095/how-to-set-file-permissions-on-mac/). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.tropy.org/other-features/collaboration.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
