• A single collaborator may have many followers.
• A follower may follow only one user at a time.

When users are collaborating in a single document, they can choose to follow another collaborator. This allows the follower to see the actions of the other collaborator.

A user can follow a collaborator across browser and mobile. This means a user on a browser can follow a collaborator on a browser or mobile device. A user on a mobile device can follow a collaborator on a mobile device or on a browser.

To follow someone, tap on their social cue icon in the Collaborators section.

To stop following, tap anywhere in the graphics area.
