The term is widely used in both Brazil and Portugal with the rise of cloud-based productivity tools. In Brazil's tech startups and corporate environments, 'edição simultânea' has become standard terminology. The feature reflects modern collaborative work culture, particularly emphasized during and after the COVID-19 pandemic when remote work became prevalent. In Portugal, the term is equally understood, though some professionals may use 'edição em conjunto' more colloquially.
