Student Collaboration

NoodleTools includes a feature where you can work together with other students.  Students on your team can add or make changes to citations and note cards in your collaborative project.  A status box appears when another student on your team is working on your team project.  Fortunately, NoodleTools automatically syncs the changes being made, so you are always viewing the most recent version of your project.
