Writer User Guide

When you are presented with the Writer tool for the first time, you will immediately see that it is a place to work with content. The first thing you do is probably some kind of login to the system. After that your name will be presented as the Author of the article.

The Writing area is empty when you start with a new article, and you can simply start writing. To help you understand the basic features, the functionality is described in this user guide.

If you get a message when you are starting, saying: "We could not find an author matching current user account. We need this to automatically set your byline." Don't worry, that may mean that you have logged in with other credentials than your Byline were configured with. You can in most cases ignore that at the moment by pressing later. Check credentials and Byline name with your administrator.
