Authorship in Blacklines
Customers can now see who made specific changes within a blackline, reducing the need to manually cross-reference document history. This feature provides transparency for follow-up conversations and audit workflows.
- Authorship Overlay: When viewing a Blackline, toggle “Authorship” from the View toolbar to see highlights on revised content. Hover over any change to view the author, date, and time.
- Changes Panel: Review individual or multiple authors directly within each Blackline Changes card.
- Permissions: This feature is available for all view modes but is disabled by default for the External Audit role.
