Hi everyone. So, I was invited to help a little with the project, but there’s a message that I need to verify I am a student or educator since it’s an education team. I am not, by the way, so I'm thinking about buying a professional plan since right now I’m on a free one. Will it give me full access to the education team project?

Hey ​@Kira_Do, thanks for reaching out!

In this case, access to an Education team is tied specifically to having verified education status (student or educator). So even if you upgrade to a Professional plan, it unfortunately won’t give you access to collaborate within that Education team.

If you still want to work together, here are a couple of options:
• The file could be moved to a free starter team, though this may come with some feature limitations. 
• Or moved to a Professional team (If you decide to purchase the professional plan), where you can collaborate. Please note that editors on that team would require paid seats.

I know that’s a bit limiting, especially when you just want to help on a project. If you have flexibility with the team setup, moving the file is usually the easiest workaround.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions!
