Editors sign in
Editors sign in on the Editor sign-in page to write and revise answers. Admins use the Sign in page to approve and publish. Access is granted by invitation only.
How editor access works
- An existing admin manually grants you the editor role in the system.
- You sign in as an editor with your email address. Admins sign in on the Sign in page.
- The system verifies your role on sign-in and opens the editor desk (or the admin dashboard for admins).
- You can now review incoming questions, draft answers, and publish them for everyone to read.
