How are you handling team collaboration in an ICM workspace?

I just came out of a conversation with the CEO of a startup in Madrid. My goal was to explain ICM and understand both the problems it could solve and the new friction it might introduce.

The first obstacle was file collaboration.

Their team works in Google Drive and is used to editing Docs, Sheets, and Slides together in real time.

An ICM workspace, however, moves much of the operating context into the filesystem through Markdown and other structured files. That works well for agent readability, portability, and version control, but it is a significant change for a non-technical team accustomed to Google Workspace.

How are you handling this in practice?

Do you use Git and a shared editor?
Do you sync the ICM workspace through Google Drive?
Do you keep Google Workspace as the collaboration layer and move approved material into ICM?
Have you found another setup that works better for non-technical teams?

I am particularly interested in how you define the source of truth and prevent conflicts between a live Google file and its ICM counterpart.
