# Authors

> Author configuration in Compozy provides a standardized way to document workflow ownership, maintenance responsibilities, and collaboration details. This information helps users understand who to contact for support, contributions, and updates.

## Configuration Structure

The author configuration supports both individual authors and organizations:

<CodeGroup>
  ```yaml Basic Author theme={"dark"}
  author:
    name: John Doe
    email: john@example.com
  ```

  ```yaml Full Author theme={"dark"}
  author:
    name: John Doe
    email: john@example.com
    url: https://johndoe.dev
    organization: Example Corp
    contributors:
      - name: Jane Smith
        email: jane@example.com
      - name: Bob Wilson
        organization: Another Corp
  ```

  ```yaml Organization theme={"dark"}
  author:
    name: Example Corporation
    url: https://example.com
