Adding a Contributor<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

Adding a contributor is very easy. Simply go to Editor Activities>Communication Center or find the “Invitation Tool” shortcut on your Quick Start. On this page you can enter a person’s name and email and even personalize the email they will receive. That email will automatically create a user account for them and include their login information in the email they receive.\u00a0This allows them to add and view recipes in your cookbook.<\/p>\n

Watch this video tutorial to see how to work with contributors:\u00a0https:\/\/youtu.be\/x-1rS6LN4R0<\/a><\/p>\n

Edit a contributor<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

To edit a contributor’s info, login to your book.\u00a0 Go to Communication.\u00a0 Scroll down to the list of names and click on their name.\u00a0 This brings you to a page that contains all of their info. Change whatever you like and Save.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note:\u00a0If you are looking to change a\u00a0name\u00a0on the Contributor Page, those names are taken directly from the contributor field on the recipes. You would have to view\u00a0your recipes by contributor and edit those\u00a0recipes with the name you wish to change.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Delete a contributor<\/span><\/h3>\n
To delete a contributor from your cookbook, login to your book.\u00a0 Go to Editor Activities>Communication.\u00a0 Scroll down to the list of names and click on their name.\u00a0 There is a delete button there.\u00a0 Any recipes they may have added will be assigned to you (but the Contributor field will still show its original info).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
