Newcomers are automatically assigned to mentors who are categorized as "Automatically assigned mentors" in the list of mentors. A mentor can also update their settings in the Mentor dashboard to only claim mentees manually, and then they are categorized there as "Manually assigned mentors". The ideal number of mentors is: one mentor for each group of 500 new accounts, with a minimum of 3 mentors. Mentees can also receive encouraging messages from established editors, which can improve new editor retention.
The Personalized praise module surfaces praiseworthy new editors to their mentor, to help productive new editors feel more engaged and involved in the community.
