Film and media projects are rarely solo efforts. Connie lets you bring in fellow students and external partners so you can share tasks, manage documents, and keep everything in one place.
Invite a fellow student
To work with a fellow student on a project, invite them to your Connie account and assign them the right permissions. This ensures they can only access the Projects and features relevant to their role.

Adjust permissions or access settings
