My turn to apologize for the super-late reply!! So sorry…
I can say after about two months of use that our four regular authors sometimes do not notice that another writer has been assigned to a story. Then we get two authors who have clicked “write it” causing some trouble for me, an editor, to untangle the mess. So it’s nice to see stories assigned to me, and it would be nice to see stories assigned to someone else just so I avoid them.
I hope that makes sense!
All the best,
Zack
