Riverside’s Editor add-on lets you bring in an outside editor to work on your recordings without giving them access to your full account. Here’s how it works and how to set it up.

## What the Editor Add-On Gives Access To

When you invite someone as an editor, they can:

- Trim and edit recordings using the transcript-based editor
- Create clips from recordings
- Add and edit captions
- Change layouts
- Export finished recordings

They **cannot** access your billing, account settings, studio, projects, or any recordings you haven’t specifically assigned to them. This makes it a secure option for outsourcing editing work. 

## One Thing to Know First

The email address you use to invite the editor **must not already be connected to an existing Riverside account**. If they already have one, they’ll need to use a different email.

## How to Invite an Editor

1. Open your [Riverside](https://cotovan.com/riverside) Studio
2. Click **Settings** in the bottom left
3. Navigate to **Team,** then **Members**
4. Click **Invite**
5. Enter their email address and send the invite

The Editor add-on is billed separately per seat, either monthly or annually depending on your plan. You can cancel it anytime.

## When This Is Useful

If you’re [collaborating on edits](https://cotovan.com/how-to-collaborate-with-comments-in-riverside-edits/) with your clients or a freelance editor, virtual assistant, or team member who only needs editing access, this keeps your account locked down while still letting them do their work. They’ll only see the recordings you assign to them — nothing else.
