Good to know

  • Only the person who started a session and organization admins can change who sees it.
  • Everyone who can see a session can drive it. N here shows who’s in it and who is Driving this turn.
  • Viewers can answer permission requests but can’t send messages. The first answer counts, and an unanswered request expires as declined.
  • Approvals the agent shouldn’t ask for again are in the project’s Settings › Saved approvals, where you can Revoke them.
