Newspaper production is a team effort. XLR8 Print includes powerful collaboration tools:

Example workflow: Editor assigns Page 3 (local news) to Reporter A, Page 7 (sports) to Reporter B, and Page 9 (classifieds) to Office Assistant. Each works independently, while the Editor monitors progress and provides feedback—all within one system.
