How to add a collaborator to your paper

Invite collaborators to your paper!  

What are collaborators for?

• Used to add a Co-editor: If you have created a paper but would like to grant permission to colleague(s) to be able to co-edit and curate the content on your paper, you can add them as a collaborator.  Your collaborator(s) will have all the same super-powers that you do, except he or she, will not have permission to delete or create new papers under your account name.  

• Used to give a user permission to see a private paper: Using Paper.li for market, industry or trend monitoring and don't necessarily want anyone else to view your paper? Set your paper to private and the paper will only be seen by you and any collaborators you have invited.  A private paper will not be listed on your public profile, nor will it be searchable on the newsstand.  When a paper is private, only collaborators will receive the email notification.

Add a collaborator

• To begin, if they have not already, ask the collaborator to create a paper.li account by signing into his or her own social media account on paper.li. They can also create an account using an email address.  The collaborator does not need to create a paper in order to have a publisher account.

• From your Paper Settings, click the General tab > Advanced > Collaborators.

• Enter the name of the publisher in the search field and click "enter" or  to search.

• When you have found the collaborator in the search results, click the "+Add" button.  If you have successfully added the collaborator,  a checkmark will appear on the right,

• The invited collaborator will receive an email notification informing them that they have been added as a collaborator to your paper.

• Once added, to view (and edit) the paper the collaborator will sign in to their own publisher account and the paper will appear under the main menu section: "My Papers". 

Remove a collaborator

• From your Paper Settings, click the General tab > Advanced >  Collaborators.

• Click the minus/subtract button(icon) to delete a collaborator.
