Ghostwrite content

You can use ghostwriting to credit published content to another user in the digital workplace.

Considerations

  • Content owner vs content authors: A content owner may differ from the displayed content author. A content owner can be the original content creator, but they also act as custodians of the content to maintain it.
  • Content authors and ghostwriting: A user must be added as a content author before they can be selected as the visible content author when ghostwriting. 

Who can do this?

  • Workplace administrators
  • Site administrators 
  • Creators
