Create and Display Contributors
Contributors allow you to display and credit those who have worked on your book with you. This chapter will cover how to create, modify and display contributors, at both the chapter and book level.
Creating a New Contributor
Pressbooks will automatically create a new contributor for any user you’ve added to your book with a role of Collaborator, Author, Editor, or Administrator. When users are first added to a book with one of these roles, a new contributor will automatically be created in that book for the user and will have its contributor information populated from the user’s profile.
There are some cases where you may wish to create a contributor for a person who does not have a user account in your book. To create a single contributor in your book:
- Hover over Book Info in the menu of your book’s dashboard.
The Book Info submenu will appear. - Click Contributors.
- Type the name (required) and any other details you wish to include for your contributor.
- Click Add Contributor
