### New Features

* **Invite your colleagues and stakeholders!**\
  One of the highlights to our first release for the year is the introduction of a collaborative feature that allows you to invite your colleagues and project stakeholders into your Carbon Central company. As a project owner or developer, you can seamlessly add users, granting them access to collaborate on project information or the upcoming digital twin feature.\
  **How to Get Started:**
  * If you're an owner of a company in Carbon Central, taking advantage of the new collaboration feature is a breeze. Follow these steps:

    1. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the Carbon Central dashboard.
       1. Select "Manage company" from the dropdown menu.
       2. Within the Company Management section, you'll find an option to "Add member".

    Now, you can easily invite users by entering their email addresses. Once invited, users can kickstart their Carbon Central journey in two simple ways:

    * **New Users:**
      * Individuals who are new to Carbon Central can join your company by creating a new account using the email address which was provided in the invitation.&#x20;
    * **Existing Users:**
      * If someone already has an existing Carbon Central account, all they need to do is be sure the company owner uses this email for the invitation. Once the invitation is received, they can seamlessly sign in and accept the invitation.

This new capability is designed to foster better collaboration and streamline communication within your projects.<br>
