Two people editing the same case study need to know where the other person is working. Framer’s [October 27 CMS release](https://www.framer.com/updates/cms-update-multiplayer-cursors) adds multiplayer cursors to formatted text fields in both the CMS and the canvas, making that shared activity visible.

The release also refreshes canvas cursors for a more compact, higher-contrast appearance. In the CMS, collection filters now support references and multi-references, helping editors narrow a list using relationships between records.

## More of the story can stay in the text field

An updated insert menu adds website embeds and Vimeo videos to formatted text. For an editorial team, that suggests a simpler way to place a supporting video alongside an article rather than treating each embed as a separate page-layout job.

There are maintenance fixes too, including duplicated text after branch merges and issues with references, slugs, and folders in duplicated collections. The announcement presents these as shipped changes, rather than a future roadmap.

Before a shared editing session, try a representative article containing a reference and an embed. Check the published result as well as the editor: visible cursors explain who is present, while the team still needs a clear decision about when the article is ready to publish.
