Add Comments and Subscribe to Conversations in Content Workflow

You can use comments to discuss your content. You can comment directly on text and assets, as well as on an item itself. A record of the conversation will be kept in the comment history.

Comment on Text

  1. Navigate to Content Workflow. 
  2. Either create a new item or open an existing item.
  3. Highlight the text you want to comment on and select the add comment from the formatting toolbar. Alternatively, you can select Screenshot 2024-03-12 at 3.21.20 PM.png located in the toolbar.

    • Tip: Creating a new comment without any text highlighted will apply the comment to the nearest word.
  5.  Your comment will now be visible alongside the text for your team to see. People can reply to your comment by clicking on it, which opens the conversation box.
  6. When replying, comments will be grouped as part of a conversation. If it's a long conversation, we'll show the first and last message as a summary. Click the conversation to see all comments in full.

FAQ 

There is no content related to my comment. 

When content relating to a comment or conversation is deleted, the associated comment(s) are moved into the comment history. This is because these comments no longer have any content to attach to. If you see there are unresolved comments on an item, but don't see any comments in the item, this is likely the reason.
