> This is the Markdown of a Backed Help Centre page, https://admin.backed.giving/help/news/2026/2026-11-04-manage-collaborators-in-the-applicant-portal.md. Every page is listed at https://admin.backed.giving/help/llms.txt.

## What's new

- **`Manage Collaborators` for owners.** On an application you own, `Manage Collaborators` is in
  the row's actions menu under `Applications` and in the `Actions` on the application page, while
  the grant allows collaborators. Search registered applicants and applicant organisations by name
  or email address, tick to add, untick to remove, then select `Update`. See
  [Collaborating on an application](/applicant/collaborating).
- **When a grant turns adding off**, the popup says so and lets you remove collaborators only.
