Splits decide who is credited and paid for a song. They must total **100%**.

## Adding people to a song

In the song's **Artist splits**, add everyone who should be credited, each with their **real legal name** and **email**. Choose their **roles** (composer, author, songwriter, remixer). Set each share so the total is 100%.

Legal names and emails are used only for agreements and payment. We keep them on file so you do not retype them next time.

## Inviting co-artists

If a co-artist should have their own account to review the release and confirm their share:

1. Add their email in the credits.
2. Open **Invite co-artists**, review, and **Send invite**.

The invite goes to the email on file. They can create an account, check the release and confirm their split. **You can still send the release before they confirm** - their confirmation is not a blocker.

## On the other side

If someone invites you, the release appears under [Collaborations](https://artists.fatstep.com/collaborations), where you confirm your own legal name, email and split. Once the release is sent, your details become read-only. See [Collaborating on a track](https://artists-docs.fatstep.com/hc/fatstep-for-artists/articles/collaborating-on-a-track).

## Why legal names matter

Correct legal names and roles are how publishing money reaches the right people. See [Why legal names and roles matter for publishing](https://artists-docs.fatstep.com/hc/fatstep-for-artists/articles/legal-names-roles-publishing).
