Posting comments with the app

When viewing content in the app, you can add a comment to start a conversation or provide additional information. The comments section can be found at the bottom of blog articles, calendar events, files, forum topics, microblog posts, and wiki articles. If commenting has been turned off for the content, the "Add a comment" box will not be displayed.

Considerations

  • @mentioning: When commenting, you can @mention other members of your digital workplace. @mentioning a member results in them receiving a notification with a link to where they are @mentioned. To @mention a member, type @ and then begin typing the member's name. As you type, a menu will pop up from which you can select who you want to @mention.
  • Replying to comments (threaded comments): Besides commenting on content (first-level comments), users can reply to comments on blog articles, files, calendar events, forum posts, microblog posts, and wiki articles. These replies (second-level comments) automatically append an @mention to the author of the original comment before the reply text and be indented from the original comment to indicate a new discussion thread. Replying to a second-level comment behaves similarly and results in a third-level comment. However, replies to third-level comments do not create additional commenting levels and are instead posted as third-level comments.

Who can do this?

  • Enterprise administrators
  • Workplace administrators
  • Space administrators
  • Members of the digital workplace with Read, Edit or Full access
