We are using the On Premises version. We can organize our work inside of Author-it using release sates and internal comments. Once you have setup your output formats you can fully conentrate on your content. When you have understood the concept of Author-it, then you have a very flexible and powerful tool. For writers or reviewers only, it is easy to learn and they like it. Author-it has a quick and competent support. It is very stable we had since nearly 20 years of use no problems.

Creating topic alias and cross referencing

The easy of use of Author-it for people that have little understanding of writing and publication. For example we have a mechanic from our assembly line writing assembly instructions. I take him only four sessions of approximately 2 hours and he was up and running. It took me as an experience Author-it user approximately one week to setup the work environment, templates and publication process so that it was easy to use for non-experienced-writers. It is easy to create user-groups and limit what every user sees when working with Author-it. We have roles for Operator Manuals, Marketing Information and Factory Instructions.
