Microsoft Workspace can allow you to work together with other people on the same website. But without sharing your private stuff. For example, if you and your friend are both logged in to Facebook, you can see each other’s comments and likes on the same page, but you can’t see each other’s messages or passwords. Edge Workspaces is not like screen-sharing, where you show everything on your browser to someone else. It only lets you share what you want and what you have permission to see.
