If you want editor pull requests to open ready for review immediately, turn off draft pull requests.

## Add co-authors to commits

When this setting is on, each commit the editor makes includes the person who makes the change as a co-author. Git providers like GitHub then credit the person making the change and the Mintlify bot as co-authors of the commit. This setting is off by default.

If you connect your GitHub account to Mintlify, the co-author attribution uses your GitHub no-reply email address. Otherwise, it uses the email address on your Mintlify account.

## Granular publishing

Granular publishing controls which pending changes the **Publish** menu shows on your deployment branch.

- **Off (default)**: The **Publish** menu shows and publishes only your own changes. Changes that only teammates made are hidden.

In general, use active voice instead of passive voice ('are hidden').
- **On**: The **Publish** menu shows everyone's pending changes, split into **Your changes** and **Modified by others**, with a checkbox on each change so you can select what to publish.

This setting only takes effect while you work on your deployment branch and that branch has no branch protections. See [Publish specific changes](/editor/publish#publish-specific-changes) for more information.
