Document discussions panel

Use this panel to view a list of all the discussions posted on the document you are currently viewing.

When viewing a document, click the icon at the top of the right sidebar. Discussions are ordered by location (fragment) in document order. Discussions can be related to the whole document or on an individual fragment in the document.

Discussions on the whole document appear first in the discussions list, in chronological order, under the heading “Document” in a blue bar.

Then, any discussions on fragments are displayed, in chronological order. Only fragments that have discussions display a heading in a blue bar, containing either the content of the first heading in the fragment, or if no heading, the initial content of the first paragraph in the fragment.

No discussions yet

If there are no discussions, you see a message indicating there are no discussions in the document.

Click the Post comment... that opens the comment dialog to start a new discussion on the document. You can also click the icon on the right to post a comment by email.

Group managers can unarchive a comment by clicking the icon, on the right when viewing the comment in the panel.

Discussions on fragments

When holding the pointer over a heading or paragraph content in the blue bar, the fragment number the comment is posted on is displayed.
