### Introduction

Any account in Simplebooklet can connect to another account in order to collaborate on a booklet or collection.  PRO accounts or higher can request access to any account's dashboard for collaboration.  Free accounts can only give access from their dashboard to another account. Free accounts cannot collaborate with each other.

|| Available on all plans, though only through a PRO Plan or higher can you __request access__ to another account.
