How to post a comment on a document
Key point: Comments can be posted on groups, documents and fragments.

Prerequisites

Groups can be configured so that comments can be posted:

  • Only by group members, OR
  • By someone not registered to the group ('the public').

When a group is open to the public, comments are typically first routed to a moderator.

This article explains how to post a comment with the PageSeeder user interface. This gives you more control over the formatting of your comment and provides additional options to create a task, add labels or change the message settings.

If you prefer using your email client, follow the instructions in how to post a comment by email.
