How to create a new Author

• When logged into Flow, find Categories in the left hand menu

  • 

  • Note: If you can't see Categories in the left hand menu then you do not have permission to create new authors.  Talk to your senior editor about increasing your user permissions
• On the Categories page select Authors in the dropdown menu in the top right corner

  • 

• You'll now see a list of existing authors
• Click the Add button (top right)
• Fill in the Name of the new author and any other details
  • Note: Author names must be unique, search for your new author's name in the list first.  If you add an author name that already exists Flow will add a -0 to the end of their name and redirect their profile page to that of the existing author, this can cause confusion and misattribution.
• Click the Save button
• You'll see a green success message

• Assign an article to the new author.  Make sure you do this before you try to view the author profile page or you will create a 404 page
