Abstract

A collaborative design system, method, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method includes receiving request messages from a first client device and a second client device requesting a workflow project for design collaboration, creating an un-executable version of the workflow project from an executable version of the workflow project, and transmitting a copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project to each of the client devices. The method further includes receiving from the first client device, an instruction that is indicative of a modification to the copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project at the first client device and transmitting the instruction to the second client device causing the second client device to modify the copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project at the second client device. Additionally, the method includes modifying the executable version of the workflow project based on the instruction.
