The basic framework is thus: There should be a master version of the NVivo project. Each coder should get a copy of this project. When coding is complete, or if you would prefer at regular intervals, each coder's version is merged back into the master version. The master version will preserve everyone's codes, and will record using initials, differences and commonality among codes.
To merge back into the master, Import Project.
