Restructuring the Codex
We are currently moving articles around and changing the general structure of the Codex. Please come back later if you get lost!Writer
Writer can create articles as drafts, but they can't publish them nor edit existing articles. They can't view private content unless they are also a subscriber.Advanced writers can additionally keep editing their articles even after they have been published.
Editor
Editors can create articles and publish them, and they can also edit existing content. They have access to all private content, including secrets.Co-owner
Co-owners not only can create and edit any kind of content, but they can also edit your world's configuration, the world CSS and manage access rights. Make sure you trust your co-owners!This page explains how to add and manage the authors of your world.

Congratulations! :) you now have somebody who can help you build your world. Your friend will find your world among the list of their worlds on their Dashboard. If you need to, you can always revoke your author's access clicking on the "Revoke access" button.
I feel like having the ability to chat easily with your co-authors would be helpful. Maybe that already exists and I just missed it?
If you have a character active you can pm other characters. Otherwise you can suggest it as a feature: https://worldanvil.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/user/login?destination=portal%2F1%2Fgroup%2F1%2Fcreate%2F7
