Accept or Discard Suggestions

Abstract

How to accept and discard suggestions.

If someone has made a suggestion in your content, you can either:

  • Accept the suggestion and Paligo will update the content with the suggested change

  • Decline the suggestion to reject the change.

To accept or discard suggestions, you need permission to edit the content and your user type must be Author, Admin or Contributor. You can then either accept or discard all suggestions in a topic at once or you can accept or discard them individually.

Accept or Discard All Suggestions in a Topic

To accept or discard all suggestions in a topic at once:

  1. Display the Suggest View.

  2. Click inside the content of the topic you want to work on.

  3. Select the Suggestion options icon in the toolbar and then select:

    • Accept all suggestions

      Paligo will apply all of the suggestions in the currently selected topic.

    • Discard all suggestions

      Paligo will remove all of the suggestions in the currently selected topic.

    • A red cross icon. Select the Cross mark to discard the suggestion. Paligo will keep the original text and reject the suggestion.

    • Send a reply or a question to the person who made the suggestion.

    Note

    Alternatively, you can select the Suggestions option icon in the toolbar and then select either Accept selected suggestions or Decline selected suggestions.

    Suggestion options icon is selected in the toolbar. It reveals a menu that contains options, including options for "accept selected suggestions" and "Discard selected suggestions".

    Tip

    If a suggestion also has numbers with arrow buttons, it means that there is more than one dialog available. The selected suggestion is just one of those dialogs. If you select the arrow buttons, you can switch to another dialog.

    For example, if you have a suggestion in a table, there will be at least two dialogs available: one for the suggestion and one for editing the table.

    Context menu for a table. It shows the icons for editing a table and at the top there are back and forward buttons with "1 of 2"
    Context menu for a suggestion in the same table. It shows the icons for accepting or rejecting a suggestion. At the top there are back and forward buttons with "2 of 2"
  5. Use the arrow buttons in the Skip feature to move to the previous or next suggestion.

    Suggestion skip feature. It has a back button, a forward button and two numbers separated by a forward slash. The number to the left is the current suggestion and the number to the right is the total number of suggestions.
  6. Repeat steps 2-5 inclusive to accept or reject further suggestions.

  7. Select Save.
