q Updates are the filler that supports real work
q Communica;on, coordina;on are not the same as collabora;on
q The actual collabora;ve experience happens elsewhere
n Convofy enables True Collabora>on:
q Real-‐;me communica;on (chat) and updates
q On-‐the-‐page markup, annota;on and no;fica;on
q Across a wide range of digital formats
q Integrated with the ac;vity stream
