Authors can work with other authors and reviewers to get feedback and support in creating their course content.
An overview of the Author and Reviewer roles
Authors have full access to edit, view, archive and publish your course content. They can make permanent changes to content and publish/republish, allowing changes to flow out to any current class activations and learners.
Reviewers can view and make notes on your content, but they are unable to edit the content or publish the course. When content is published, reviewers can no longer make comments.
Note: Reviewer notes are deleted when the content is published and are not visible to learners.
How to add collaborators from your Create dash
To add a collaborator to a course, from your Create dash:
Select the three dots to the right of the relevant course content and chose Collaborators.
Add an Email and choose the Role (Author or Reviewer) you want the person to have.
Select Add and we'll email your collaborator with a link to the course content.
You'll now see your collaborator listed.
How to add collaborators from within the course
To add a collaborator to a course, from within your course:
Head to the main course menu and choose Collaborators.
Add an Email and choose the Role (Author or Reviewer) you want the person to have.
Select Check then Send invitation and we'll email your collaborator with a link to the course content.
You'll now see your collaborator listed.
Note: For both methods, if your collaborator is new to iQualify, you'll need to also add their first name and surname so we can send an email them to create an iQualify account.
How to manage multiple authors working on the same course
While authors can be working on the same course content at the same time, only one author can work on any particular page at a time. If an author navigates to a page that someone else is currently editing, a message will display at the top of the page telling them who is working on it, and when they started that work. The author won’t be able to make any changes to that page until the other author has saved their work or exited that page.
Once an author leaves the page, any other author viewing the page is instantly alerted that the new content is available, and are provided with a link they can follow to take them to the page. They are now able to make their own edits.
