Groups & Visibility

Control team access and shared visibility for recordings.

Groups require a Pro or Enterprise plan.

Groups organize your workspace into teams, practice areas, or matter groups. They control who can see recordings and how the transcriber queue routes work.

Create a group

  1. Open SettingsGroups
  2. Click New group
  3. Add members
  4. Configure visibility and approval settings

Shared visibility

When Shared visibility is enabled for a group:

  • Members can view recordings assigned to that group by other members
  • Viewing is read-only — members cannot edit or delete another author's recording
  • Only the recording author (or a workspace admin) can edit or delete

Assign a recording to a group from the editor header.

Transcriber routing

Groups determine which transcribers see queue items. Send recordings to the queue within a group so the right transcribers can claim them.

Approval workflow

Groups can require approval when transcribers complete work:

  • Transcriber marks complete → status becomes Review pending
  • Author (or designated approver) reviews and approves
  • Admins configure timeout and approval rules per group
