Coactive

Coactive is a Visual Studio extension which provides developers with unique insights into what their teammates are working on in real time, prevent conflicts before they happen, and identify opportunities for collaboration.

Real time file insights

With the Coactive Activity Browser, you will automatically see, in real time, which files are being accessed by your teammates working within the same repository. You can even see files which have not yet been committed to source control!

In-editor collaboration actions

With the Coactive in-editor action button, you have the power to view your teammate’s version of the file, see a diff between theirs and yours, query branch information, and more!
