If the Article settings panel isn't visible, click the Article settings icon to expand it. Then, click the Placement card to open the Placement panel. In the Author field, click the current author's name and search or scroll to select a new author from the list of agents. Remember, only agents can be selected as authors, not external end users. Once you've chosen the new author, click 'Update settings' to save your changes. For more details, check out theoriginal guide.
