Would someone with access to the tool mind taking a screenshot of the "Roles and Callings" section of the Quick Start Guide showing who the authorized "authors" are and posting it here?
I'm not certain I can/should do that since it's behind a login screen, but I can summarize that it's members of the ward council, adult presidency members (including secretaries), history specialist, mission leader, temple & family history leader, Aaronic Priesthood advisers, and assistant ward clerk/secretary.
Does anybody know if we should compile our 2023 report and send that in as we have done in the past...
I'd note that the old way of exclusively focusing on year-end summaries, has been replaced in the new tool with it being a living document. So for 2023 perhaps summaries are all that your ward orgs will provide. But the help guides definitely point out that as meaningful or interesting events occur, authors should write up a story right then-and-there throughout the year, as often as they like, before lots of the details get lost to time. At the end of this year (2024), an organization may well want to write a summary in December to cover what happened in their org this coming year, but that should be in addition to the other stories they've been sharing throughout 2024.
