Add collaborators to a database and set permission levels

Back to table of contents

You can add collaborators at any stage.

  1. Click on Manage your database.

  2. Select the round checkbox of the database you want to add collaborators to.

  3. Click Add collaborator and Type the Koe username or Koe account email address of your intended collaborator.

  4. Once added, you can set their permission level by double-clicking the Permission cell next to their username.

From lowest to highest permission level: View, Annotate, Import data, Copy files, Add files, Modify segmentation, Delete files, Assign user. Each subsequent permission level extends the permissions of the previous level as per the table below:

Level Permissions
View User can view data
Annotate User can view and annotate data
Import data User can import, view and annotate data
Copy files User can copy files, import, view and annotate data
Add files User can add files, copy files, import, view and annotate data
Modify segmentation User can modify segmentation, add files, copy files, import, view and annotate data
Delete files User can delete files, modify segmentation, add files, copy files, import, view and annotate data
Assign user User can assign additional users, delete files, modify segmentation, add files, copy files, import, view and annotate data

Set database restore points

Back to table of contents

Changes are saved to the database as soon as they happen. If you want to be able to revert to a previous state you will want to save database restore points.

  1. Click on Manage your database.

  2. Select the round checkbox of the database you want to set a restore point for.

  3. Click Quick save or Full save at the bottom of the window to create a restore point. Quick save saves label data associated with each unit. Full save saves both label data and segmentation start/end points.

Please note that restore points do not affect which songs are in the database or which units are segmented. For example, if you make a save and then delete songs, reverting will not restore the songs to the database. Similarly, if you add songs, reverting will not remove the added songs. In the same way, if you add/delete units, reverting will not remove/restore the segmentation. What reverting will do is restore the label data and (for a full save) the segmentation start/end points for currently existing units. If you want to preserve all aspects of a database at a certain point, like a traditional ‘Save As’, then copy everything to a new database, as described in Copy songs to another database below.
