How do I configure the visibility of the author?
In the settings of each document app you can define whether the author should be displayed to the users of the app. You configure this setting by opening the app settings and checking or unchecking them.
What happens if the author is visible?
If the author is active, the clear name is displayed in the following areas:
- Overview of documents in the app: a column in which all authors are displayed
- Preview of a document: In the information area of the preview, the location and date of the upload as well as the author are displayed
- Version history of a document: Not only the time point of the upload is visible, but also who has uploaded the corresponding version.
What happens if the author is invisible?
If the field is inactive, then as a normal user and app admin you can't see who created the document (overview) and you won't get any details about the document in the information and version area.
There is one exception for moderators and superadmins: they can still see in the version history not only when the change was made, but also by whom.
