Configure author visibility
In the settings of every document app, it’s possible to specify whether the author of the uploaded files should be shown.
You configure these settings by opening the app settings and adding or removing a check mark accordingly.

What happens if the author is visible?
If the author is active, their name, including a link to their profile, is displayed in the following areas:
-
Overview of the documents in the app:
A column appears, showing all of the authors. -
Preview of a document:
In the information area of the preview, the author is shown alongside the place and date of the upload. -
Version history for a document:
Alongside the time of the upload, the name of the user who uploaded the corresponding version can also be seen.
What happens if the author is not visible?
If the field is inactive, "normal" users and app admins cannot see who created or last edited the document and also cannot view any named details in the history.
There is an exception for moderators and superadmins. They can still see in the version history when the change was made and also by whom.
