TikTok is taking steps to ensure that its community is giving credit where credit is due.

The video creation platform rolled out new tools to better enable credit and equitable attribution.

TikTok director, creator community Kudzi Chikumbu explained in a blog post Wednesday, “We’re always exploring new ways to amplify the voices of our creator community and celebrate the innovative content creators share on TikTok. Inspiration can come from anywhere, and it’s important that creators are equipped with the right tools that allow TikTok to continue being a place where creativity is celebrated and individually credited.”

The new tools will enable TikTok users to directly credit, mention and tag a video in the description to their own video, helping to showcase the diverse voices in the TikTok community.
