When knowledge base articles are created, we have a process for others to check those articles for accuracy. Once they are edited, there is only a filter on the backend that shows us who last updated the article but does not account for the original author. We need a way to be able to see the original author not just who last updated the article.

Can you explain this better?

[@Jigar\_Thakker](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/610147) Right now when looking at the back end of the knowledge base the only columns include Title, Category, and Last Updated. The last updated shows when and who last updated the article but I want to be able to see the original author as well not just who updated it, similar to the blog that has an author column.

Seconding this. I would love to track the author of an article, and to have that visible from the viewer’s perspective.
