Collaboration in knols

As an author, you can change the way readers can collaborate with you on your knols by choosing between three different collaboration models.

Open Collaboration

This setting will allow anyone with a Knol account to modify your knol and these modifications will be immediately public. Choose this setting if you are willing to have your work modified by anyone, at any time.

Moderated Collaboration

This setting will allow anyone with a Knol account to suggest modifications and corrections to your knol, but these modifications will not be visible publicly until you or another author have reviewed and accepted them. At that point the person who edited your knol will appear in the contributors list, and their modifications will become part of your knol. Choose this setting if you would like to accept suggestions from your readership, but you would like to review them before they are incorporated into your knol.

Closed Collaboration

This setting will only allow co-authors to modify your knol and these modifications will be immediately public. Choose this setting if you only want the group of co-authors you selected to be able to modify your knol.
