Your Team Can Now Edit Lists Together — In Real Time

Building a media list used to be a solo job. It doesn't have to be.

If you work in a PR team, you've probably been there. Someone builds a media list, shares it, and then the back-and-forth begins — "can you add these three journalists?", "I removed the ones who didn't open", "which version are we using?" — all over Slack or email, while the actual list sits untouched.

We wanted to fix that properly. Not with a workaround, but by letting your whole team work on the same list, at the same time, without getting in each other's way.

How it works

When you share a list with a team member, you now choose between two access levels:

• View only — they can see the list, browse journalists, but can't make changes
• Can edit — they can add journalists, remove journalists, and work the list just like you can

You can change this any time from the Share panel on the list. If someone only needs to reference the list, keep them on view. If they're actively building it with you, give them edit. Simple.

The activity timeline

Every change made to a shared list is logged — who added someone, who removed someone, when it happened. You open the Timeline panel (the clock icon in the list toolbar) and you get a running history of everything that's been done to that list.

It auto-refreshes every 60 seconds while you have it open. So if a colleague is working through the list at the same time as you, you'll see their additions appear without having to reload the page.

This is genuinely useful for things like:

• Campaign prep where two people are dividing up the research
• Account managers adding journalists while someone else cleans up the list
• Checking what changed after you were away for a few days

Team activity on the dashboard

The main dashboard now has a Team Activity section in the left column. It shows you the last few changes your teammates have made across any list shared with you — so you get a quick snapshot of what's been happening without having to open each list individually.

A note on how this fits into your workflow

This isn't trying to turn PressReacher into a project management tool. It's a small, practical change that makes shared lists actually collaborative rather than just viewable. The list is still the list — the same journalists, the same emails, the same campaign data — just now your whole team can contribute to it without the back-and-forth.

If you already have shared lists set up with your team, you'll find the new permission toggle the next time you open the Share panel. Existing shares default to view access — you'll need to manually upgrade anyone you want to give edit access to.

To try it: Open any list you own → click Share → find your team member → change View only to Can edit.
