What are the three modes of Collaborative Editing?

• A. On, Limited, Off
• B. Enabled, Restricted, Disabled
• C. Active, Paused, Off
• D. Auto, Manual, Off

Answer: (A)

Collaborative editing is controlled by three states that determine how multiple authors can work on the same page at the same time and to what extent. When the mode is on, real-time collaboration is active, so you and others see each other’s edits as they happen, with live cursors and immediate updates. When the mode is off, real-time editing is disabled, so editors work independently and changes are saved in sequence, reducing conflicts but slowing collaboration. The limited mode sits between these two: real-time collaboration is available, but with safeguards or restrictions (such as limited simultaneous editors or restricted sections), providing a balance between productivity and control. This combination—full enablement, constrained collaboration, and complete disablement—captures the three modes.
