Here's a clearer, more concise version:

A creator is someone who can log in and edit content on your Squarespace site. Adding creators helps you manage your site collaboratively while maintaining control through specific permissions.

Key Points Before Adding Creators

  • Only owners and admins can invite creators
  • Personal plans allow 2 users total (owner + 1 creator)
  • Other paid plans offer unlimited creators
  • Multiple simultaneous editors may overwrite changes
  • Parking Pages only accept admin-level creators

How to Invite a Creator (Desktop)

  1. Navigate to Permissions and Ownership panel
  2. Click "Invite Creator"
  3. Enter creator's name and email
  4. Set permissions level (admin or specific roles)
  5. Click "Invite"

How to Invite a Creator (Mobile App)

  1. Go to Settings → Permissions
  2. Tap "Invite Creator"
  3. Enter creator's name and email
  4. Set desired permissions
  5. Tap "Send"

Managing Pending Invitations

  • View pending invites under "Sent Invites"
  • Edit permissions before acceptance
  • Cancel/resend invitations if needed
  • Manual link sharing available if email not received

Troubleshooting

If the invitation email isn't received:

  1. Check spam folder
  2. Search for [email protected]
  3. Use manual invitation link from "Sent Invites" section

After Invitation Acceptance

  • Edit permissions anytime
  • Remove creators if needed
  • Creators can edit their own profile details

Best Practices

  • Coordinate editing times to prevent overwrites
  • Review permissions regularly
  • Share creator guidelines with new team members
  • Keep communication channels open for collaboration

Remember that domain-only accounts have different creator settings and permissions structure.
