Notes

Abstract

Yjs is a widely used library to build collaborative applications. BlockNote and Prosemirror are text editors that closely integrate with Yjs.

In this talk, we'll preview upcoming functionality for Attributed Version History (who wrote what, and when?) and Track Changes (suggestions). We'll explore major new functionality coming in Yjs 14 (changesets and attributions), y-prosemirror and BlockNote that will make this possible.

The BlockNote team (Nick, Yousef and Matthew) has collaborated closely with Yjs (Kevin Jahns) on these topics, funded by ZenDiS (OpenDesk) and DINUM (La Suite Docs).
