# Can I Collect Publishing for This Track?

## How the per-track publishing toggle works and how it differs from streaming and master splits.

In the Credits tab of the Song Details panel, each credited songwriter has a toggle: "Do you want to collect your publishing for this release?"

![](https://20049731.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/20049731/hubfs/undefined-Sep-22-2026-10-30-32-4891-PM.png?width=2656&height=1452&name=undefined-Sep-22-2026-10-30-32-4891-PM.png)

- This refers to the songwriting and publishing split, the writers' share of the composition. It's separate from the streaming and master revenue split you set for the release as a whole in Manage Splits.
- Enabling this toggle opts that credit into EngineEars Publishing, which registers the composition with collection societies so mechanical and performance royalties owed to the songwriter can be collected.
- This is optional and can be enabled or left off independently for each credited songwriter on the track.

**Always check with the contributor first.** Before enabling publishing collection on behalf of a co-writer or other credited contributor, confirm with them directly that they want EngineEars to collect their publishing. Don't opt someone in without their knowledge or agreement.
