Whether you are the design professional running the show, a client tracking the progress of your home, or a contractor coordinating your piece of the work, this guide is here to help you get the most out of the app. You do not need any technical background to use CollabMind, and you do not need one to use this manual. Each section is written in plain language with step-by-step guidance so that anyone — regardless of how comfortable they are with technology — can find what they need and get back to work.


Your Role	How You Use CollabMind
Design Professionals	Architects, interior designers, and design-build firms who create and manage projects, invite collaborators, and keep everything organized.
Clients	Homeowners and property owners who have been invited to a project to review progress, provide input, approve decisions, and stay informed throughout the process.
Contractors	Builders, tradespeople, and other contractors who have been brought into a project to coordinate their work, access relevant documents, and communicate with the team.

Throughout this manual, instructions and tips are written to be useful across all roles. Where the experience differs depending on your role — for example, some features are only available to the design professional who set up the project — that will be clearly noted.
