Commenting or mentioning

You can provide your input on content by leaving comments or by commenting on other users' comments to continue the discussion. Additionally, you can also mention or tag specific users to bring their attention to the discussion.

You need "Write comments" permission to create comments, including mentions. Additionally, if you have "Delete comments" permission, you can delete your own comments. If you're an admin of an element, you can also delete other users' comments from that element.

Comment on a post

You can comment on timeline posts (including Studio posts), blog articles, wiki articles, files, list items, and other comments.

  1. Find a post you want to comment on
  2. Select the comment field
  3. Write your comment. You can also tag a user in your comment 
  4. Press Enter to send

Any users subscribed to the content are notified of your comment. You are also automatically subscribed to the content to receive notifications of future updates.

You can initially only see the two latest comments on an element. Selecting Load more will show additional comments. Replies to comments are also hidden at first, but you can select Show X replies to expand them. Additionally, on timeline posts and blog articles, comments that are longer than ~550 characters will be shortened, and you can select Read more to see the full comment.

Tag a user in a post

You can mention users in timeline posts, the rich text editor (including in blog and wiki articles), forum threads, and comments.

  1. Find a post you want to mention someone on
  2. Select the comment field
  3. Input @ followed by part of the user's name and then select the user from the drop-down. You can also write a comment to accompany your tagging.
  4. Press Enter to send

A user mentioned in timeline posts, forum threads, and comments receives a notification of being mentioned. However, currently, users aren't notified of mentions in the rich text editor widget.

Users aren't automatically subscribed to the content to receive notifications of future updates. They need to manually subscribe to the post to be notified of other updates.
