Comments

Comments are quick, threaded replies that learners can leave right where they're learning. Unlike a full discussion topic, a comment lives directly on a piece of content — a lesson, a course, an assignment, and more. Comments are searchable, so useful answers are easy to find later.

Where comments can be added

Learners and admins can comment on any of these:

• A course
• A lesson
• A quiz
• An assignment
• An event
• A cohort
• A learning path
• A discussion (a comment on a discussion topic)

What you can do

• Let learners leave comments where they are studying.
• Allow replies under replies, so conversations stay threaded and easy to follow.
• Search comments to find a question or answer quickly.
• Edit or remove any comment when you need to moderate.

How learners leave a comment

1. A learner opens a lesson, course, assignment, or other item they are enrolled in.
2. They scroll to the Comments area.
3. They type their comment and click Post.
4. To answer someone, they click Reply under that comment — this keeps the conversation threaded.

What the learner sees

• A comment box on the content they are studying.
• Existing comments, with replies indented under the comment they answer.
• A Reply option on each comment, so threads can grow naturally.
• Their own comments, which they can edit or remove.

Moderating comments

• Edit a comment to fix or clean it up.
• Remove a comment that is off-topic or breaks your rules.
• Use search to review what is being said across your content.

Comments vs. discussions

Both let people talk, but they fit different needs:

Tips

• Encourage learners to comment on the exact lesson they have a question about — it keeps answers in context.
• Check the busiest lessons for repeated questions; they often point to content worth improving.

Related

• Discussions — for longer, topic-based threads.
• Reactions — a one-tap way to respond to a comment.
• Courses & Content — the lessons and courses comments attach to.
