How do we change the author of an Article?Issue We have some articles that have authors that have become inactive. How can we update them to current users?ResolutionThe author field can be updated on a knowledge form just like any other field. Please see the steps below: - Out of box the Author field is not on the form, however this can be added to the form and updated.- If article versioning in your instance is enabled, published articles will need to be checked out to update this field like any other field.- The other option is to set author in the system property 'glide.knowman.versioning.minor_edit_fields' so these articles will not have to be checked out to update. Our documentation on the article versioning properties is below. Please note: Changing the author manually can impact certain functionality such as knowledge subscriptions. Changing the author will not automatically subscribe the new author to the knowledge article. The author is auto subscribed to the article by a before insert business rule when the article is first created. Manually changing the author will leave the previous author subscribed and the new author unsubscribed. The new author will need to manually subscribe to the author. Manually changing the author on existing records should be tested thoroughly before making changes in a live environment.Related LinksArticle versioning properties https://docs.servicenow.com/csh?topicname=r_KnowledgeProperties.html&version=latest#article-versioning-properties
