Author-it

## What is Author-it?

Author‑it is a modern Component Content Management System (CCMS) built for teams that need accuracy, consistency, and control at scale. Instead of managing documents, Author‑it breaks content into reusable components - your single source of truth for every product, market, and format. This eliminates duplication, reduces errors, and dramatically speeds up updates, reviews, and localization. Governed workflows, variant management, and structured publishing ensure that every output is consistent and compliant, whether you're supporting manufacturing, software, or utility operations. With Author‑it, content teams work faster, stay aligned, and deliver precise, on‑brand information everywhere it’s needed.

Pros

I used to love creating content with this tool. My company moved on to another tool to focus more on DITA, but the ease of use in AuthorIT is sorely missed. It is very easy to create content, edit it, and then publish it on-line or to Word or PDF format.

Cons

The only con to this software was the antiquated, clunky UI.

Review source

Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.

Which their upgrade to the newer version we became more dependent on their customer support services.
