Identify the correct site before sending the invitation. Keep your own account credentials private. Squarespace's invitation guide says only owners and administrators can invite contributors. It directs them to the Permissions & Ownership panel. [Squarespace contributor invitations](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206537287-Invite-a-contributor), checked 2026.10.23. Use the proposed checks below when a writer, assistant, or builder helps with your real estate website. They describe preparation and verification, not actions performed on your account. ## Write down the task and the correct site. Record the website address, requested change, approved material, and responsible owner. Name the page that needs work. Keep brokerage-wide work separate from an individual agent's page. Ask whether the work concerns existing content, new pages, site styles, forms, or the domain. Check the relevant permission before choosing a role. For a biography correction, supply the approved text and current page. For an IDX change, supply the affected search page and required behavior. Do not include passwords or private lead exports in this brief. ## Match the role to the work. Squarespace's standard website roles give Website editors access to existing page content. Adding standard pages and changing site styles require an owner or administrator. Editors can add blog posts, events, gallery images, and version 7.1 portfolio sub-pages. [Squarespace roles and permissions](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206537297-Contributor-roles-and-permissions), checked 2026.10.23. The same guide documents different Enterprise permissions and separate domain permissions. Confirm the arrangement your account uses before applying the standard website matrix. | Proposed work | Question before inviting | | --- | --- | | Edit an existing service explanation | Can the selected role edit the required content? | | Create a new neighborhood page | Who has permission to add the page? | | Change the website's visual styles | Does the approved role cover design settings? | | Repair form storage or delivery | Who can change the required settings and verify receipt? | | Change domain configuration | Which domain access is required separately? | Avoid assigning broader access because a task description is vague. Clarify the task first. Ask the owner to perform a sensitive setting change when that is the agreed arrangement. ## Prepare and send the contributor invitation. The documented desktop process is to open Permissions & Ownership, select Invite Contributor, enter the person's name and email, and select permissions. The recipient then signs into or creates a Squarespace account. [Squarespace invitation steps](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206537287-Invite-a-contributor), checked 2026.10.23. Before sending, verify the email address with the intended person. Confirm the site and chosen permissions against the written task. Have the authorized owner send the invitation. Squarespace says contributor limits depend on the subscription. Check the allowance for your site before planning access for several people. The linked guide lists the current limits. ## Verify acceptance before requesting edits. Ask the invited person to confirm the correct website and available controls. Start with the bounded change in the brief. Keep any extra requested permission as a separate decision. If the invitation does not arrive, Squarespace recommends checking spam and searching for its notification sender. The owner can also copy the invitation link from the pending invitation. [Squarespace invitation troubleshooting](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206537287-Invite-a-contributor), checked 2026.10.23. Use the agreed private channel for that link. Confirm the recipient before resending. Avoid creating duplicate invitations while the original status remains unclear. ## Coordinate changes to shared pages. Squarespace warns that simultaneous edits can overwrite each other. Agree who edits the affected page and when it is ready for review. [Squarespace's contributor editing guidance](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206537287-Invite-a-contributor), checked 2026.10.23. Keep an approved copy of the text and a list of requested changes. Ask the editor to report what changed and which task remains open. For a form repair, verify both the visible page and a matching received test submission. The [Squarespace notification guide](/articles/repair-squarespace-agent-form-notifications) addresses that delivery task. ## Review permissions at handoff. Compare the finished work with the approved task. Have the owner review contributor access and decide what ongoing access is still needed. Record the responsible person for later edits. Keep the task record with your website ownership information. Use the [website ownership checklist](/articles/own-your-site) to document domain, hosting, editing, and inquiry responsibilities. Bring the site address, requested task, current access arrangement, and unresolved permission question to [the website work brief](/work).
