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.

Conflicts in moderated collaboration

In moderated collaboration, what happens if several people submit conflicting modifications to the same part of a knol before the author has had a chance to review any of them? Even if they are submitted to the author in the order they were suggested, approving the first one may in some cases render useless all the others. Will the system allow this situation to happen?

What To Do When The Change Button Does Not Appear?

I want to change the Collaboration option on my Vita knol from «Moderated» to «Closed», but no «Change» button appears on that line. Wotsupwithat?

Emails

I'd like to get an email notification when someone submits an edit to one of my moderated knols.

Co-authors

It's not clear to me how you can create a Knol with a co-author or co-authors. Can someone write a Help file to explain this process? Is it necessary to create a joint Google account?
