To provide feedback in your review or contribution, use comments. You can view any existing comments in the comments sidebar, and you can add new comments and reply to comments.
You can also set up notifications so that Paligo emails you when new comments are made. For old comments, there is an archiving feature, which lets you save and hide those comments that have been dealt with.
Tip
When you mention another Paligo user in a comment, they get a direct link to that exact place in the publication. Use the @ symbol and then start typing their name. Select the person you want to notify from the list.
To add a new comment:
-
In the main body of the topic, select the content block that you want to comment on.
Paligo adds a new comment box to the comments sidebar.
-
Add your feedback to the box and select Save.
Paligo adds a yellow highlight to the selected content, so that other users know that a comment has been made.
If you want to change a comment you have made, you can edit it:
-
In the comments sidebar, select the comment you want to edit.
Note
If the comment has been archived, you will need to restore it before you can edit it.
-
Select the Edit option, make your changes, and then select Save.
To reply to a comment that someone else has made:
To find the content that relates to a comment, select the comment speech bubble in the Comments sidebar. Paligo then shifts the focus to show the relevant piece of content, and a highlight on the content block flashes on and off briefly.
The comments sidebar shows all comments by default. If you prefer, you can filter the comments sidebar so that it only shows comments that meet certain criteria based on date, user and / or the status of the comments. For example, you could filter the comments sidebar so that it only shows the comments from one specific reviewer, made between January and March, and with a status of Rejected.
To filter the comments:
-
Select the filter icon at the top of the Comments sidebar.
The filter settings appear in an extra section. By default, the filter settings remain on show, so that you can see there are filters in place.
-
Enter the filter settings you want to use.
-
Select the Start Date and End Date fields to display calendars. Use the calendars to set the date of the filter.
-
Select the names of the users whose comments you want to see. Check the box next to a user's name to see their comments or clear it to hide their comments.
-
Select the Status of the comments that you want to see. Check the box next to the status name to see comments with that status. Clear the box to hide comments with that status.
Paligo applies the filters and displays the comments that meet the filter criteria. It hides any comments that do not meet the criteria.
-
You can set Paligo to send you an update notification when there is a new comment or when you are "mentioned" in a comment. The notification is sent to you via email, using the address that is associated with your Paligo user account.
To set comment notifications:
-
Select the menu icon in the top corner of the comments sidebar.
-
Use the Comment Notifications options to set your preference:
-
Mentions only - you will only receive a notification email when your username is mentioned in a comment.
-
All comments - you will receive an email each time there is a comment on this topic.
If you choose All comments, you are "following" the comments. Paligo will send you a notification either immediately or at a regular interval, and you can control this by setting the notification frequency in your user profile. You can change the frequency if required, see My Profile.
-
This section only applies to authors who are responsible for addressing any issues that come up in the reviewers' or contributors' feedback. It is important to update the status of comments that you have dealt with, as this lets other users know which comments still need to be looked at.
When you see comments that are left by other users, you can update the comment to show that you have:
-
Read the comment
-
Rejected the comment, perhaps because the comment is incorrect or irrelevant to the topic
-
Made the changes that were suggested in the comment.
To change the state of a comment:
-
In the comments sidebar, select the comment that you want to change.
-
Update the status of the comment by:
-
Selecting the Status option for a specific comment and do not affect the state of any other comments in the paragraph.
-
Selecting the settings icon in the bottom corner of the comment box to apply it to all of the comments in the current paragraph.
To the left - change status for an individual comment. To the right - change the status for all comments in the current paragraph.
-
-
Select a status:
-
Done - Use if you have completed the work suggested in the comment.
-
Rejected - Use if you think the comment is incorrect or is suggesting inappropriate changes.
-
Mark as read - Use if you have read the comment , but have not taken action on it.
-
Unset status - Use if you want to cancel the comment's current status so that other users know the comment needs to be looked at again.
-
Archived comments are old comments that have been accepted or are automatically archived when an assignment ends or begins. By default, they are not shown in the comments sidebar, but you can choose to display them if you want, and they appear as monochrome (no color).
Typically, you will only use the archive comments features to view or hide old archived comments. But there may be times where you need to make a change to an archived comment or need to revert it back to a regular comment, in which case, you will need to restore it.
If your Paligo is not set up to archive comments automatically, the comments will always be "regular" comments. In this case, you can archive comments manually, if needed.
Note
To find out how to set up automatic archiving, see Automatically Archive Comments.
Archived comments are not shown in the comments sidebar by default. But you have the option to display them if you want.
If a topic has archived comments, you can choose to restore all of the comments within a selected time range, such as a day. When you restore archived comments, they become regular comments again, and so can be edited.
-
In the comments sidebar, make sure the Show or Hide Archived Comments.
-
Select the archived comment that you want to restore and then select the Restore option.
-
Choose the date range. Paligo will restore all of the archived comments that were made in the date range you specify.
-
Select Restore.
If your Paligo assignments are not set up to archive content automatically, the comments will remain as "regular" comments. However, you can archive comments manually if needed.
