How do I add a collaborator to a submitted project?

Multi-person development projects are only shown on one developer page. It is unfair to collaborators. Is there any way for collaborators to share work results?

Hey!  I don't think there is a way to do this in itch.io.  I think the best thing to do is link to all your team members in your game description and what they did.  You can link to their twitter or their itch profile for example.

During the mining process, I found that there are some submitters in some games, like SpamBoy Deluxe, there are 3 submitters: Https://itch.io/jam/open-jam-2018/rate/313939

The game still belongs to a developer, but other partners can also display that game on their personal page.
Do I have a way to do this now? Thank you for your help, I think fair treatment is more important than the award: P

Ahh yes I see that now, I'm guessing there is a field when you're submitting the jam entry to add contributors?

I finally found the way!

Steps:
1. Enter the project Dashboard
2. Click More/Admins
3. Enter the username and click Add admin
4. Send the agree to link to collaborator
5. Turn on the "Contributor" toggle

Awesome!  Thanks for the tip!

Thank you! Would've probably taken me long to find this.

Thank you very much for your help!

It's still helpful info!

Thank you! Very helpful. In fact your comment was easier to find than anything about it on itch's FAQ.

Thank you Friend!

Thank you, I just needed to do it and found your comment

Also,  being a contributor doesn't show the game to your creator's page by default. Pick `Edit Theme` on your main page and unhide the game to show it there.

Thank you so much!
