### Invite collaborators to edit and submit proposals

#### Overview

Suppliers can now [add collaborators directly to their received quotation pages](https://docs.fairmarkit.com/suppliers/suppliers/events/manage-collaborators#inviteacollaborator). Collaborators gain the ability to edit and submit bids, streamlining team participation in the bidding process.

#### Updated Features

* Share Bid Requests with Collaborators:
  * A new “Share” button is available on the Supplier Quotation page.
  * Invited collaborators with edit access can revise the full proposal and submit bids on behalf of their organization.
  * If an RFQ requires an NDA, collaborators must sign the NDA before accessing bid details.

**Key benefit**: This simplifies internal collaboration for suppliers, removing the need to request buyer intervention when adding team members, and enabling faster, more efficient bid submissions.

**Incoterms**

When you're responding to an event, the buyer may have Incoterms already defined to help guide logistics expectations. You can keep the default value or select a different one from the list, depending on what works best for your response.

**New auction types - Dutch, English, and Japanese**

Buyers can now create three types of auction events, each with a different way for you to participate. For each auction type, the event screen provides instructions on how to proceed.

**Dutch auction**

The auction price starts low and increases over time. You win if you're the first participant to accept the current price.

See: [Dutch auction](/suppliers/suppliers/auctions/dutch-auction.md)

**English (classic) auction**

Compete by submitting lower prices throughout the event. If your bid is the lowest at the end, you win. This is the original reverse auction experience.

See: [English (classic) auction](/suppliers/suppliers/auctions/english-classic-auction.md)

**Japanese auction**

The auction starts at a high price and decreases over time. At each price drop, you'll decide whether to stay or leave. If you're the last participant remaining, you win.

See: [Japanese auction](/suppliers/suppliers/auctions/japanese-auction.md)

**Minimum English auction bid**

Buyers can now set a Minimum bid increment, requiring new bids to meet a specified percentage or fixed amount below the current lead bid (e.g., 5% or $10). If your bid doesn’t meet this value, you’ll see an error message and need to update it before submitting it.

See: [Compare and adjust bid](/suppliers/suppliers/auctions/english-classic-auction/compare-and-adjust-bid.md)

**English auction extensions**

Previously, if you bid on an auction in the final 10 minutes, the auction would extend for 10 minutes, continuing until no further bids were received. Buyers can now configure extensions, controlling when extensions are triggered, how much time is added, and the maximum number of extensions. You’ll receive real-time notifications for extensions so you can respond quickly and stay competitive.

**All requests/Customer filter combination**

When reviewing one of your events list (RFQ, RFP, RFI), you can now select the All requests option and then filter the list to a specific Customer. This change allows you to have more control over your lists.
