How do I create an author from the story editor?

Where: Stories → All stories → The story editor

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/articles (replace <your-site> with your site address). Then open the one you want.

Before you start

• You need permission to manage authors (owner, admin or editor). Others can pick an existing author or add a guest or agency byline.

Steps

1. In the story, find the Byline (who wrote it) under Where it shows and who wrote it in Story settings. Tap Team author and search with Search authors.
2. Tap Create author. If your site has no authors yet, you can create the first one here and it is added to the story at once.
3. In Create author, type the Name.
4. Add a Role or job title, for example "Senior reporter".
5. Tap Add photo and pick a picture.
6. Write a Short bio: one or two sentences about what they cover.
7. Optionally add Social links. Each must be a full link that starts with https://.
8. Tap Create author. You see "… was added as an author."

Good to know

• The author profile page on your site shows this name, photo and bio.
• Expertise and a declared interest can be added later on the Authors page.
• At least one author is needed before a story can be published.
