Who is an editor, or vendor?
Anyone can be an editor on the platform if they have the necessary skills, although editors in this context refer to editors in the marketplace who are freelance vendors or members of service providers.
Editors are those who offer their linguistic services to the platform’s customers. The editors are external mambers of a customer’s team.
How do you convert a user account into an editor account?
