Is there already a way that I can give my world's subscribers (the players of my DnD game) the ability to use the explorer UI to navigate all the content I've created in my world? It's such a convenient, well-designed interface, and while I guess it might be possible for me to replicate the functionality thru css and the linking system, I'd rather spend the free time I have actually creating content for my world. I hate that the players are stuck with an inferior UX when I try to get them to engage with the information I've put into the world. I see what the FAQ says about co-authors, but it's not clear to me if I'd have to explicitly assign them full authorship privileges for each article and object I wanted them to be able to see, or if I could tie it to subscriber groups or something so the explorer just shows them the content that's either public or viewable by their group. If it's not already possible I'll spend coins to make a feature request, but wanted to check first. Thanks!
Hi! Unfortunately, the explorer mode can only be accessed by world authors at the moment. I don't recommend giving your players author permissions, as they would also get access to most of the private content of your world. However, you could suggest giving subscribers access to the explorer as a new feature! You can do so here (link in the help page too).
Thanks for your response! Yeah, I've made a few of the players writers so they can create articles, but I would never want to risk giving them access to spoilers or secrets, which is a big part of why I decided to ask here instead of experimenting myself :P I think I'll suggest it as a new feature, maybe I'm not the only one who wants this.
