In collaborative editing, to whom are page changes assigned when the page is published?

• A. The current user who is viewing the page
• B. The last editor before publishing
• C. The person who publishes the page
• D. The original author of the page

Answer: (C)

Publishing finalizes the changes and attributes them to the person who performs the publish action. When you click Publish, the drafted edits are committed to the live page, and the system records you as the modifier for that version. This ensures the current version shows who published it and when. Viewing or editing without publishing doesn’t assign changes to you, and the last person who edited the draft isn’t necessarily credited for the published version—the publish action itself determines the attribution. The original author may have created the page, but if someone else publishes, that person is the one credited for the published changes.
