Axios HQ collaboration

Collaborative editing made easy

Be the expert, or find the experts. Either way, you can all get to work writing the same internal communications at the same time for the same audience.

Work async, like your workforce

Unlimited collaborators means communication can truly be a team sport. Executives set the vision, leaders translate it, teams act on it. And everyone can be in Axios HQ, sending internal updates — up, down, and around — to the people who need them.

Plan your updates

Calendar blue-

Keep an top-line look at org-wide comms

With our Calendar feature, there’s no hopping between external calendar tools, your Axios HQ workspace, and all the collaborator conversations it takes to get key messages out. You have a high-level view of each target or scheduled send date for each vital update — and an easy way to edit, send, and analyze them.
Add collaborators

All the right people, in the right place

Tag in a colleague anywhere you need a hand. They can join your workspace, contribute an idea, write a card, or even an entire edition. You control which newsletters they have access to and who's allowed to hit send. Safe, reliable collaboration.
Set assigments

Keep folks accountable, and also on pace

Streamline your workflow with assignments, reminders, and deadlines. Collaborators will get a quick email to let them know you need their help, and as soon as they're finished writing, you'll get an alert that their work is in and ready for edits.
Track comments and changes

Test, tweak, improve without stress

Comments keep your conversation and collaboration about each HQ update all in one place. Tag teammates to share your ideas, make tweaks to enhance your edition, and write with confidence knowing HQ is tracking every change in case you want to revert. 

How other teams collaborate

More and more, organizations are realizing smart communication has to be both top-down and bottoms-up. Organizations big and small are adopting an "Up, down, around, and out" strategy to keep all their stakeholders aligned.

See how it works
Up-1
Up

Department leaders take a snapshot of their team's brags and flags of the week, decide what to prioritize next, and put both in an HQ update.

It goes "up" to execs to keep them aware of progress.
Down
Down

A similar update — or the exact same one — will make its way into HQ. It has all the details, directives, and delight their team needs to stay productive and engaged.

It goes "down" to the team so they can keep sprinting.
Around
Around

By Monday, top execs have digested org-wide wins and needs. They'll sample news with universal impact, pull it into HQ, and write and all-hands update.

It goes "around" to staff with transparency and clarity.
Out
Out

The final step: customer, community, investor comms. Collect the most important stakeholder news about your organization and make sure the folks who need it see it. 

It goes "out" to the folks who are satellites to your success.

“There’s a ceremony to it. Our HQ update is a chance for the management team to go on the record, simplify our news, and reiterate what it means. It’s a way to communicate efficiently, to let people digest it asynchronously — which is a big deal — and to measure whether it's getting traction.” Mike Lackman, CEO

How Trade Coffee keeps its hybrid workforce in sync

Their young management team needed discipline to help them distill what the company was doing and why in a format anyone could access.

More about collaborative editing

What are email collaboration tools?

Email collaboration tools help leaders and stakeholders plan, compose, deliver, and measure vital internal communications together. They offer collaborative features — like assignments, comments, and best practice benchmarks — so communications come together faster and more effectively.

What is meant by collaborative editing?

Important internal communications often involve more than one person — contributors, writers, editors, approvers, and senders. Axios HQ's collaborative editing features make it possible for multiple people to work on the same email communication at the same time.

How does real-time collaborative editing or simultaneous editing work?

Axios HQ has no limits on how many people can work on an HQ update at the same time. Version history tracks all changes that any contributor makes. Decorative flags show you who is contributing where. And comments and other collaborative features make it easier to communicate with one another async.
