Ghostwrite Content | Communifire Documentation

Axero's Ghostwriting feature enables designated users to create or edit content on behalf of others. This is particularly useful for allowing experts to contribute their insights or enabling editors or managers to update content they did not create.

When Ghostwriting is enabled, the designated user can create and edit content while maintaining the original author's identity. The original author will continue to receive notifications about activity on the content.
