Please don't say "it's just you here now
When you are editing a document with another person, when they leave it says it's just you here now. This makes me feel lonelier than I am already.
119 votesHi, thanks for the great idea.
The Word for Web product has a new experience for how to show other people who are also editing the document in real-time. As part of this new design experience we no longer say “If’s just you here now.”
The new design includes profile pictures (if available,) makes it clear which color applies to which person, and also indicates when people are inactive (not moving their cursor for 15 mins.)
