Eleni Cojocariu 1.1 1 The author represents the user associated with a change made to a Page. This information helps you understand who created or modified content and provides transparency when collaborating with others. As a user, you may encounter the concept of author in several places across the interface, for example:

Eleni Cojocariu 3.22 3 * In the Index tab of the [[Page Index>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.view-all-pages.WebHome]],
Eleni Cojocariu 4.2 4 * In the Page Properties when [[comparing versions of a Page>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.view.view-history.compare-page-versions.compare-versions-view.WebHome]],
Eleni Cojocariu 4.3 5 * When [[viewing the source of a Page>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.view.view-who-edited-each-line.WebHome]],
Eleni Cojocariu 1.1 6 * In different LiveDatas, etc.

Depending on the context, [[different types of authors>>documentation.xs.dev.flamingo-skin.types-authors.WebHome]] may be displayed, each serving a specific role.

However, in the future, [[it is planned to have this information available directly in the "Information" tab>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-21312]] for easier access
