Any team that needs structured collaboration beyond chat
Why, what, and how
Collaborate is built for teams that need conversation, documents, external participation, and meeting follow-through
to stay together instead of being reconstructed after the fact.
Why
Because chat alone does not hold the work together
Most collaboration tools are good at conversation, but the real work ends up scattered somewhere else. Files
live in another system. Requests are tracked manually. Guest access becomes a compromise. Meetings finish, and
the follow-up disappears into notes.
What
A unified collaboration layer
Collaborate keeps internal chat, external rooms, secure guest access, live meetings, shared documents,
structured requests, and post-meeting action in one place, with the control serious work demands.
How
Move from conversation into structure without leaving the workflow
Start in chat. Move into a room when work needs structure. Share documents, track requests, invite outside
participants securely, and launch meetings from the same conversation. When the meeting ends, transcripts,
summaries, decisions, and action items flow back into the workspace ready to be reviewed and acted on.
Core collaboration
Everyday communication stays usable because the basics are there, but the record does not fall apart when the work
gets more serious.
Everyday messaging that stays precise
Direct messages, public channels, private channels, pinned chats, unread counts, and presence indicators
Typing signals, read receipts, and delivery receipts for day-to-day coordination
Public channel discovery and join flows without admin-heavy setup
Rich message context
Attachments, threaded replies, emoji reactions, and trusted link previews
Code snippets and anchored code comments when conversations need more precision
Files can move from chat into room-managed content instead of staying buried in message history
Audit and version continuity
Auditable message editing with version history preserved
Controlled deletion instead of losing the record
Clearer continuity when messages, documents, and decisions matter later
Search across the workspace
Global search across people, channels, messages, meetings, and meeting chat history
Live conversations remain part of the broader record
Less time rebuilding context from side channels and meeting notes
Rooms for structured work
When collaboration needs more control than a channel can offer, rooms give the work a proper shape without forcing
teams into a separate system.
Room-based workspaces
Use dedicated collaboration rooms and deal-room style spaces when work needs clearer ownership, visibility, and boundaries.
Built for more governed work than ordinary chat
Keeps the conversation, documents, and asks in one space
Purpose-built room views
Move through overview, documents, requests, suggestions, governance, and activity views from the same room.
Less jumping between tools just to understand status
Important work stays visible after the conversation moves on
Document curation inside the room
Curated room documents, pinned content, and room-managed files keep shared material under clearer control.
Turn shared files from chat into room-managed content
Keep the current working set easier to find and govern
Structured requests and due-date tracking
Track asks, approvals, diligence items, follow-up, and due dates without dropping back into manual trackers.
Supports approvals, diligence, and coordinated follow-through
Room activity trails keep movement and decisions visible
Secure external collaboration without opening the whole environment
Guests can work in the room, but only inside the boundaries you define. External participation stops being a
compromise between usability and control.
Controlled guest entry
Secure guest invites delivered through controlled access links
Invite lifecycle controls for resend, extension, and revocation
Clearer control over who still has room access and why
Role-based participation
Policy-driven access for uploads, document visibility, contribution, meetings, and requests
Read-only modes and approval requirements where needed
Guest activity stays scoped to the room rather than the wider workspace
Guest-safe collaboration boundary
Outside parties can contribute without seeing the broader internal collaboration environment
Supports more serious work than ad hoc file sharing or guest chat
Keeps the room usable for diligence, approvals, and follow-up
Secure sign-in options
Passkey or WebAuthn flows for stronger guest access
Email verification paths when appropriate for the workflow
Useful when trust, control, and participant identity all matter
Meetings and follow-through
Meetings stay connected to the room instead of ending as disconnected notes. The live session, the transcript, and
the action that follows all stay attached to the same workspace.
Launch meetings from collaboration
Meeting creation and launch starts directly from collaboration chats, with linked meeting history and dedicated meeting conversations.
Live controls that support real sessions
Waiting-room style admission, participant moderation, hand raising, mute and remove controls, device selection, screen sharing, reactions, subtitles, recording, transcription, flexible layouts, and background effects.
Searchable meeting record
Search across meetings and meeting chats so live conversations remain part of the broader collaboration record.
Summaries, decisions, and action
Automatic transcript processing can produce structured summaries covering overview, key points, decisions, action items, risks, and follow-up.
Task suggestions carried forward
Suggested next steps can move from meeting intelligence into tracked room requests, keeping follow-through visible instead of hiding in notes.
Apps across devices
Collaborate works across devices, but the experience is deeper on macOS and iPhone, with a lighter Windows desktop shell.
macOS
A native desktop workspace
macOS offers a native Collaborate workspace with realtime chat, presence, notifications, room management, documents, requests, suggestions, and resilient local message handling when connectivity drops.
iPhone
Mobile collaboration that survives unreliable networks
iPhone extends Collaborate into a true mobile experience with encrypted local storage, offline outbox behaviour, reconnect retry, resume recovery, and relaunch-safe message persistence.
Windows
A lighter desktop shell
Windows provides a desktop Collaborate app for persistent signed-in access, native download handling, in-app popup support, and collaboration and meeting launch flows in a desktop shell.
Where Collaborate fits in the wider platform
Collaborate keeps conversation, documents, guests, requests, and meetings together. When the work needs secure
delivery, execution, or downstream review, it can sit alongside the rest of the Simply Discover platform.
Secure delivery when the room needs handoff
Use Simply Send when content needs encrypted delivery with stronger access control and audit trails outside the room.
Approvals when the work needs execution
Use Simply Sign when room-based approvals need a governed signing flow and defensible evidence trail.
Evidence-bearing follow-through
Rooms can also sit alongside eDiscovery and compliance work when collaboration needs to stay close to the wider record.
Simply Collaborate FAQs
Straight answers for teams evaluating secure internal and external collaboration.
What is Simply Collaborate?
Simply Collaborate is secure collaboration software for internal teams and external participants, with direct messages, channels, room-based workspaces, live meetings, shared documents, request tracking, and meeting follow-through inside one workspace.
Can external guests collaborate without seeing the wider internal environment?
Yes. Guests can work inside controlled rooms with policy-driven permissions and invite lifecycle controls without exposing the broader internal collaboration environment.
Does Collaborate support rooms and deal-room style workspaces?
Yes. Rooms provide dedicated views for documents, requests, suggestions, governance, and activity so teams can run more structured collaboration than a normal chat channel supports.
Can documents and requests stay attached to the same workspace?
Yes. Shared files can become room-managed content, and structured request workflows keep asks, approvals, diligence items, and follow-up in the same room.
What happens after meetings end?
Meeting history remains linked to the workspace, and transcript processing can produce summaries, decisions, risks, action items, and suggested next steps that can feed back into room requests.
How do external participants authenticate?
Collaborate supports secure sign-in options for external participants, including passkey or WebAuthn flows and email verification paths.
Is the Windows client the same as macOS and iPhone?
No. macOS and iPhone go deeper into local resilience and message persistence. Windows provides a lighter desktop shell for persistent access, downloads, popup support, and collaboration or meeting launch flows.
