On Efalia Engage, every user can actively participate in collective discussions by submitting a contribution. A contribution is an idea, project, question, application, or thought shared within a consultation, such as a call for contributions, a participatory budget, or a public consultation. This process helps foster dialogue and gather ideas for decision-making.

In this article, you will learn what a contribution is, how to create, edit, or delete one, and how to find all your previous contributions.

What is a Contribution?

A contribution is an idea or project that you submit on the platform as part of a consultation. It can be viewed and commented on by other users, and in some cases, by non-registered visitors. Contributions help enrich collective discussions and encourage active participation.

When creating a contribution, you can fill in required fields (title, description) and optional fields (image, geolocation, phone number). These fields may vary depending on the administrator’s settings.

Users may also receive AI-generated suggestions to help them discover similar contributions, reducing duplicates and fostering collective intelligence.

How to Create a Contribution?

Creating a contribution is simple. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Access the consultation during the Submission phase.
2. Click the + Contribution button or a custom label set by the administrator.
3. Fill in the required and optional fields (title, description, etc.). Make sure your contribution is clear and precise.
4. Once your contribution is ready, click Publish or Submit to create it.
