How to work with an editor or co-author: write in the same chapter
You invite an editor or co-author from Creator Studio with their email address, and they join your book with a free account. You can then comment on the text, write in the same chapter at the same time and see or restore every saved version.
Steps
- In Creator Studio, click the plus in the header, type their email address and choose Editor, Author or Viewer.
- Click Invite. They show as pending until they create a free account with that address.
- Select a passage and click Comment to pin a note to those words. Reply from the Comments panel.
- Write in the same chapter together: your editor's changes appear in your view as they type.
- Open History to see each saved version and who saved it, then use Show changes or Restore as new version.

Your editor is typing in your chapter while you watch. In Creator Studio, click the plus in the header, then type your editor's email. Choose a role. Editor and Author can both write in the book. Viewer can read it, but can't change anything. Click Invite. They show as pending until they join. The link in their invite email opens this page, with their address filled in. They create a free account with that same address, and the book is on their dashboard. Your editor opens the chapter, selects a passage and clicks Comment. They write a note and post it. It stays pinned to those exact words, highlighted in yellow. The highlight shows in your view straight away. Open Comments, click Reply and post your answer. When you're both in the same chapter, every change appears as it's typed. Open History to see each saved version and who saved it. Click a version, then a chapter. Show changes marks what's new. Prefer an earlier draft? Open it, click Restore as new version and confirm. The later versions stay in your history. Next in the series: how to format your book.
