Credit, Collaborate and Moderate

Collaborators

This was previously an Author Premium feature, but it is now available for everyone. Now every author can add collaborators, moderators and give credit when credit is due.

All you have to do is go to your author dashboard, select [Collaborators] under [Settings] in the side navigation menu, and then click [add]. From there, you will be able to grant any user any of the following permissions:

• View Dashboard

• View Analytics (Note that premium analytics requires both the author and the collaborator to have Author Premium)

• Edit Drafts

• Edit Chapters

• Publish Chapters

• Delete Chapters

• Moderate Comments

• Edit Fiction Info (title, description, cover)

• Change Fiction Tags

• Edit Fiction Volumes

You can give access to your editor, moderators, or co-author to your fiction to help edit or manage it. You have granular control over what each collaborator can access. Additionally, you have the option to have the collaborators’ names show up on the fiction page under your own with their designated role - even including users who do not have accounts on the website, such as artists.

Extra Notes: 

• Be careful to whom you give any of these permissions to. We take no responsibility for any misuse by users you gave permission to. 
• Please keep in mind that currently, you can only add up to 10 collaborators.
• We currently do not have a real-time collaboration feature in the editor. Please avoid editing the same document at the same time, as it is entirely possible to overwrite your collaborator's work.
  

Please note that we do not send any notifications to invited users to avoid spamming them, so you will need to notify them yourself. To avoid abuse, collaborator users have to accept your invitation before they gain access or can be added to the credits. You can copy the invitation link from the “Collaborators” page and send it directly to the user in question. The invitation is tied to their account, so other users cannot accept it even if they have the link.  Alternatively, the user in question can open this page which lets them see all pending invitations.

We hope that you will make good use of this feature.
