Participation in SCS Events has changed drastically from prior versions. Depending on how the template permissions are setup and how the template Location Rights are set you may be able to join in on an existing running event with users from all over the ship allowing everyone to simultaneously fulfill their role in getting the job done together. Or, you can restrict access so that only one person may be in charge of the event at any given moment, everyone else can simply view (read only). Or you can lock everyone out completely and only one user can even see the event to begin with. The use case you have will help determine what rights you wish to delegate to others.
Upon joining an event, assuming you can view and participate, you will see a UI very similar to the one the template had been developed with in the template builder. Everyone else joined into the event will see the same thing you do, any change you make will be reflected on your screen AND theirs almost immediately.
This guide cannot provide guidance on how to run your event, or even what it will look like, as this is all custom/user defined. However details on how things should operate can be found in the template builder section.
