Frequently Asked Questions

IdeaCollab is a platform designed to help individuals and teams collaborate on proposals and ideas. It allows you to create, publish, and refine documents with granular feedback, voting systems, and version control.

Yes! IdeaCollab has a generous Free Tier that allows you to create unlimited draft and public proposals. We also offer paid subscriptions (Single and Pro) for users who need private collaboration spaces and advanced features.

Public Proposals are visible to everyone on the platform. Anyone can view, and depending on permissions, vote or suggest edits. Private Proposals are only visible to you and the specific collaborators you invite. Private proposals are a feature of our paid tiers.

IdeaCollab uses a unique paragraph-level suggestion system. On any published proposal, you can select a specific block of text and suggest an edit. The author and other collaborators can vote on these suggestions. If the author accepts a suggestion, it automatically replaces the original text and you are listed as a contributor.

Once a proposal is published, direct editing is disabled to preserve the integrity of the collaboration process. To make changes, you (or others) should submit an "Edit Suggestion" which can then be accepted to update the document. This ensures all changes are transparent and versioned.

You can upgrade your plan at any time by visiting the Pricing page or your Profile settings. We offer "Single" plans for individual professionals and "Pro" plans for power users and teams.

If you cancel your subscription, your account will revert to the Free Tier at the end of your billing cycle. Any active private proposals you have will become "Locked" (read-only). You will still be able to view them, but you won't be able to edit or accept new suggestions until you renew your subscription or archive them to free up space.
