📌 Important note before you get started: To manage these permissions, you must be a Workspace Admin or a Group Owner.
Historically, editing access in Haystack was "all or nothing"—you were either an admin who could edit everything, or a Group Owner who could edit every page within a specific group.
Our new page-specific editing tools allow you to delegate the responsibility of page maintenance more effectively. You can now invite a team member to manage a single, specific page—like a Benefits or IT FAQ page—without giving them the keys to your entire group.
Watch the video below to see how to assign these permissions and manage your list of page-specific editors:
