# Invitations

> Accepting and managing invitations is a user-visible part of the collaboration model.

<Tip>
  **Live.** This area is documented as current, user-reliable behavior.
</Tip>

## Goal

Help users understand how invitations currently fit into the collaboration flow.

## Prerequisites

* A pending invite or a team owner flow

## Workflow

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Use invitation links and acceptance flows from the team area.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Validate the current state of access after accepting an invitation.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Where invitations show up

* Pending invitations are visible from the team detail experience.
* Team owners can cancel invitations directly from the team surface.
* Invitation state is part of the live collaboration model, not a separate hidden workflow.

## The invitation flow

* An owner or admin invites someone to a team from the team detail page.
* The invite shows as pending until it is accepted.
* The invited user sees it in their pending invitations and accepts to join.
* After acceptance, the user becomes a team member with the role they were invited as.

## Expected result

<Check>
  Invitation handling is less ambiguous for new collaborators.
