Hi everyone! My name is Hallie, and I'm a Program Manager on the CXM Team. I connected with our product team regarding this feature, and they said it's not prioritized at the moment, but still agree it's a worthwhile feature to support in the future. I'm marking it as 'Idea Submitted' now since it's not on the roadmap over this or next quarter, but I'll update you here once I have any more updates on this. Thanks for your understanding!
Hi all! My name is Amanda, and I am a product manager at HubSpot. My team is currently taking over ownership of the blog product, and I am its new PM. I am excited to share that we are planning to support multiple authors for blog. This is a feature that we estimate will be widely available around INBOUND 2025. We are currently in the planning phase, and I have a few questions to help us as we build and design this feature:
If we were to add an upper technical limit for number of authors per post, does 5 sound like enough? Or are there use cases where you anticipate needing more than 5 authors per post?
How critical is it to be able to designate roles per authors- ex: "Amanda is the primary author" vs "Person B is the secondary author or contributor", as opposed to the names of all authors being linked & listed without this designation?
Most of our blog posts involve a lot of collaboration and it would be ideal to include multiple post authors. Not having the option creates awkward situations where one person gets all the credit for work that involved others. It seems like a minor level of effort to add this capability.
Co-authoring an article is pretty common, so I'm surprised to see that adding multiple authors to a blog post isn't a feature. Hopefully that changes in the near future!
This would be absolutely major! Our authors work in teams of two and if only one gets credited, it's a shame. Would love to get this fixed soon. COME ON, HUBSPOT! You can do it.
I agree that adding more authors to a blog post would be great! Sometimes writing a blog post is teamwork and as people already stated, it's a shame that only one can get a credit for it. Please, make it possible to add more than one blog post author.
Multiple people routinely collaborate (generating content, giving ideas, reviewing, etc.) to pull a blog together. It is appropriate to be able to include the key contributors.
Being able to list them as authors also helps incentivize them to participate.
