When you write a story, who else can see or edit it depends on one site-wide setting: Enable Story Collaboration. This setting only affects teachers – families never have edit access to teacher stories.
Story Collaboration Setting
🔒 Site Admins only – Only users with site admin access can change this setting. If you don’t see it, ask someone with site admin access at your centre.
To change this, go to: Site Settings > Site Features > Enable Story Collaboration
If Story Collaboration is enabled (Default)
Draft stories
All teachers linked to that child can:
See the draft
Open and edit the draft
Published stories
All teachers linked to that child can:
See the story
Edit the story
This setup is best if your team wants to co-write and improve stories together.
If Story Collaboration is disabled
Draft stories
Only the teacher who created the draft can:
See it
Edit it
Published stories
All teachers linked to that child can:
See the story
Other teachers cannot edit the story (view-only).
This setup is best if your centre wants individual ownership of stories.
