Contributions from readers

A space can let its readers propose changes. A reader with Read access then creates a change request, and a user with Write access reviews it.

Turn contributions on or off

Contributions are on for a new space.

1. Open the space.
2. In the sidebar, click Space actions (...) next to the space name, then click Space settings.
3. Click Access.
4. Turn Accept Contributions on or off.

Only users with Write access to the space can change this setting.

When contributions are on:

• Readers with Read access can create and edit change requests in the space.
• The published page shows an Edit button to everyone. A visitor who is not logged in must log in first.

When contributions are off:

• Only users with Write access can create change requests in the space.
• The published page shows Copy instead of Edit to readers.
• The space opens in read mode for readers in the app.

Users with Write access can always edit, whatever the setting.

Propose a change as a reader

1. On the published page, click Edit. The page opens in the editor.
2. In the New change request dialog, enter a Title and, if you like, a Description.
3. Click Start editing and make your changes.
4. Click Submit for review, then click Submit.

A reader cannot approve or merge. Your change request shows on the My Change Requests tab of the Change Requests page. You get a notification when a reviewer acts on it. See Submit for review.

Review contributions

Contributions go through the same review as all other change requests.

• Open a page in the space and click the change requests icon in the page header. The Change requests panel lists the submitted change requests in the space.
• A Wiki Manager sees all of them on the All in review tab of the Change Requests page.
• To give a contribution to a reviewer, assign it to them. It then shows on their Assigned to me tab.

See Review a change and Merge and resolve conflicts.
