Hi ​@aaryaman 

Great questions! I’m happy to clarify how Lucidchart’s Educational Account works for collaboration and shape limits.

Collaboration & Unlimited Shapes – Yes! With a Lucidchart Educational Account, you can collaborate in real time with multiple users and access unlimited shapes and objects in your diagrams.

Do collaborators also need an Educational Account? – If you share your document with others, they do not need an Educational Account to collaborate, but their experience may depend on their account type:

• If they also have an Educational Account, they will enjoy the same unlimited shapes and full editing access.
• If they have a free non-educational account, their editing capabilities may be limited by the free plan’s shape limit.

Can collaborators add unlimited shapes? – If they have an Educational Account, yes! They will be able to add unlimited shapes just like you. However, if they are on a free non-educational plan, they may experience shape limitations when editing shared documents.

If your collaborators are also students or educators, I highly recommend that they sign up for an Educational Account to fully benefit from the features!

Let me know if you need any further details—happy to help!

Thanks for your response ​@Ria S. This is all correct!

To add to ​@Ria S  response, with a free educational account, only your 3 most recently created documents are editable. Any prior documents are available as view-only. 

Thanks!
