How Regroup works now.

  • If you don’t know the URL, you can’t view it.
    • →Knowing the URL for browsing = having browsing privileges
  • Issue a separate URL for editing
    • →Knowing the URL for editing = having the authority to edit

This is the same mechanism as Google Docs etc. It’s also a need that people who start using Scrapbox often mention.

  • Example
    • Can’t you just show one page in the PRIVATE PROJECT to others?” →No, you can’t.
    • Can’t you just give someone else editing privileges on one page in a public project?” →No.
  • I guess Scrapbox is a design philosophy that emphasizes linking within a project. As parallel work becomes more and more popular, it will become increasingly difficult to use a design in which access rights to all documents are tightly coupled with “whether you are a member of the project or not”.
  • Example - Slack single channel guest - Guest space in kintone

Casual access rights control of “know the URL or not

So I thought it would be nice to have the power to stop editing.

Low priority, at least not necessary until the emergence of a Regroup Map edited by multiple people. pRegroup2020
