  2. Start a chat with the person with whom you want to share the design changes made by double-clicking the name of the person or right-click the name and select Collaborate.

    The immersive Heads-Up Display (HUD) appears. Use the Heads-Up Display to share the design changes with this user. The name that appears in the Heads-Up Display title bar is the name of the person with whom you are collaborating.

    A Share in progress message appears at the bottom of the HUD along with two arrows:
    • Black tick to send data.
    • Black cross to cancel action.

    Selected features change color.
    Important: You can only share features that adhere to the Collaborative Design protocol. To know more about the features that can be selected, see About Working in a Product Context.

    A feedback box appears in the upper right corner of your screen identifying the features selected.
