If you work on an assignment as a pair in Vocareum, you both can open the same
notebook simultaneously on each of your computers, **but you cannot edit the
notebooks simultaneously**. If you both edit the notebook, the person who saves
the notebook first will overwrite the other's work. Vocareum does not support
simultaneous editing of Jupyter Notebooks. We recommend making a copy of the
main notebook for the second partner to work it. You can then merge your work
into the main notebook one at a time.
