I am trying to synchronize my project with another user. How can I do this so we are both working on the same project?

In the designer you can press File \> Update Project after another user saves their changes. The project is automatically synchronized.

The other developer will want to access the same gateway and open a second designer session.

Right, individual resources in a project are locked while you edit it to prevent others from editing the same resource at the same time.
