This is useful for jointly running a campaign with someone else or if you would like to become a player in a campaign that you have created.

Change the campaign settings options, such as the version of Character Sheet that is set, toggling public access, changing the background image, toggling character import, or list the campaign in Looking for Players.

A Co-GM will not have access to the original campaign creator's image library, character journals, handouts, decks, rollable tables, and other campaign's pages, however those elements that are being used within the campaign are available to the Co-GM. Images that are being used within the campaign's pages can be manipulated by the Co-GM as long as they remain within the campaign editor. If the Co-GM removes any of these shared elements they will not be available unless the campaign creator GM restores them to play.
