If someone has a GM copy and they connect to your realm they will still only have Player View access to that realm. Realm Works is not a tool that allows GMs to concurrently edit a realm at the same time.
What you can do though is have multiple people with GM copies creating content that gets put into a master realm.
For example there are about 15 of us contributing content and feeding it into the master realm here.

that can get tricky when you go to sync though. It really can mess things up. If things do go wrong, then the best case scenario would be one of you looses your work, worst case scenario, you both loose a lot more and beg LWD to fix your mess.
Dont know how that worst case scenario would occur, because only one user can be logged in at the time. Anyways I didn't test this (and never will), so maybe you are correct. 
But isn't the problem more that RW has been licensed to the user, so he would not be allowed to share the login...

Off the top of my head, the worst case is probably unlikely... but I don't like to tempt fate. Anyway, your probably going to hear a lot of bitching from the person who lost a lot of data entry work. Which may be even more of a pain.

The other issue that can occur is if one of the two decides to delete the realm. From previous discussions, it sounded like the ability to sync/upload/download for that realm is gone. I'd guess it has something to do with the GUID either being erased from the LWD servers or marked as unusable in some way... I'm betting it's deleted for future use by someone else while security prevents the uploading of a now unknown GUID.
If you share your login the other user(s) could do anything to your account up to and including permanently deleting your realms from the cloud server. That would result in those realms being permanently deleted locally the next time you synced.
Sounds like a terrible idea to me.

If you delete the realm from the server on one PC, then when you log in on another PC then the realm will disappear automatically (as part of the initial sync process of getting the list of known realms).

The problem occurs when PC1 forgets to sync after their editing session...
If changes are made on PC2 and he syncs with the server, then later when PC1 comes to sync again he has to decide whether to accept the changes made by PC2 (i.e. whats on the server), or to discard the changes made on PC2 and replace them with the changes made on PC1.
Hey, I never said it was a very good solution 
but if you're desperate and have faith in the other person it is an optione. Not sure if legally allowed though.
And yes, I think that LWD should look at this feature and try to implement it, once the bloody content market that seems inhibit any other development, is out.

I constantly have this because i forget to sync and do something on my other machine. It's not the programs fault, but the whole synch-system is not my cup of tea. I'm using it, got used to it, but I dislike it because it's (for my ideal use case unecessary). A dropbox like background synch would suffice completely for me. And I could do that with my NAS. Anyways, for the content market and the protection of 3rd party stuff this is all necessary. Like those dvd's you *buy* (or bought if you just stream now adays) and where you are forced to watch 1 minute of copyright garbage.

After a week of searching I finally found some one working on a collaboration.
I have not found any thing about how to do this, could you point me in the right direction. It is just me and one other working on this home brew world. We are both super new to RW and could use some step by step help.
Thank you
