Introducing Copresence in Power Pages Visual Studio Code for the Web

As a Pro-developer, you know that collaboration is key to building successful solutions. Whether you’re working on a small project or a large-scale application, having visibility into who’s working alongside you can enhance productivity and streamline communication. That’s where Copresence comes in! We previously introduced copresence in Power Pages design studio, and now we are enabling this feature in Power Pages Visual Studio Code on the web.

Copresence tackles these challenges head-on, providing real-time insights into who else is working on your Power Pages site within the familiar Visual Studio Code for the Web.
