Add a real person as an editor on your paper
Your paper writes itself from sourced facts, and you can also put real people on it. A person you invite writes their own columns by hand under their own byline, and the automated newsroom keeps running underneath in its own AI bylines. You read what a person writes and publish it, and the newsroom never writes under their name.
At a glance
- Your time
- You spend about 5 minutes.
- What you need
- The person's email address, or their DRM3 handle. Their photo and a credential are optional.
- What to expect
- You send one invite and the seat waits until they accept it. There is no approval queue on our side, so it is as fast as they sign up. After that, nothing they write goes live until you publish it.
Invite them ~1 min
Open your paper's Desk settings, open the Admin card, and under Seats invite them as an Editor, by their email or by their DRM3 handle. The seat waits until they accept. For a field by field view, open Help.
They accept and sign up their part
They open the invite and create a DRM3 account with the invited address, or sign in if they already have one. The seat activates the moment they sign in with that address. No password is created on your paper. Their DRM3 account is the identity.
Put them on the masthead ~2 min
On the Masthead tab, add them as a writer with their name, title, and face, their own photo or an uploaded one. Turn on Verified and enter their real credential if they have one. The green check means the platform confirms who they are and the credential shown. It never claims a story is correct.
They write, you publish day to day
They write their columns by hand at the desk, under their own byline. You read each one and publish it. Nothing goes live until you publish it, and the automated paper keeps running underneath in its own AI bylines.
