Add the contributors

  1. Open the collection’s Settings → Sharing.
  2. Choose Select contributors and add the people who should upload to the collection.
  3. If Approval needed for is shown, choose which uploads require review.
  4. Choose Save changes to save the collection settings.

Choose the approval requirement

Under Approval needed for, Nobody removes the collection-wide requirement, Contributors requires review for contributor uploads, and Everyone requires review for all uploads. An individual contributor’s settings can still require approval when the collection is set to Nobody.

An uploaded file may still be waiting for approval. Tell contributors when their submissions need administrator review.

Give contributors their upload instructions

Tell each contributor which collection, files and information you need. Send them the contributor upload guide so they can follow their invitation and find their submissions.
