Browsing glossary
A shared vocabulary for shared work.
Plain-language definitions for the terms that can make browser collaboration sound more complicated than it needs to be.
Shared browser
A broad phrase that can refer to shared references, collaborative navigation, or a remotely hosted browsing environment. Ask what is actually shared rather than inferring a feature set from the name. Start with the shared-browser introduction.
Shared workspace
A place to organize the project context around references: its brief, sources, decisions, and next actions. The term does not by itself establish live browsing, storage behavior, or access controls. See the workspace structure guide.
Co-browsing
A collaborative navigation experience whose scope depends on the implementation. Confirm the supported pages, visible information, participant actions, and end-session controls. Compare it with screen sharing.
Screen sharing
Showing another participant a selected visual surface through a sharing tool. The possible surfaces and controls depend on the implementation. Seeing a surface does not necessarily include the ability to operate it.
Remote control
The ability to perform actions in another environment through a tool that supports it. Treat it as a separate decision from permission to view. The support consent guide explores this distinction.
Tab group
A browser organization feature for putting related tabs together. Available actions and persistence depend on the browser and configuration. The tab-organization guide links to a concrete browser example.
Shared bookmark library
A selected collection of destinations and, ideally, the notes that explain them. It does not automatically preserve a copy of every linked page. Read about building a maintainable library.
Personal synchronization
Keeping selected browsing information available across your own devices through an account or synchronization service. Do not equate that with individual permissions for multiple collaborators.
Asynchronous collaboration
Working through shared records and handoffs without requiring everyone to participate at the same moment. A useful approach includes a clear brief, specific review requests, and recorded outcomes. Explore the remote-team research guide.
Evidence note
A short record connecting a source to a question, an observation, an interpretation, and a limitation. Its job is to help another reader assess the reasoning, not just reopen the destination.
Least privilege
The principle of granting only the access needed for the task. Review real actions such as reading, editing, inviting, and exporting rather than relying only on role labels. The permissions checklist cites the relevant authorization guidance.
Read-only example
An illustration that can be examined without editing the displayed project data. On this website, reference cards open guides, while collection labels and participant initials demonstrate a layout rather than operating a live service.
Less searching. More finding.
