Editor permissions per styleguide

You can now give and remove access to styleguides for particular editors. This is useful if you work in a large team or across multiple styleguides.

How do editor permissions work?

  • When you create a styleguide you and the team admins will have access by default.
  • You will be the owner of the styleguide. You can transfer ownership to someone else.
  • You can share the styleguide with the rest of the team, or add editors individually.
  • You will only see styleguides you've been added to or that are shared with the team.
