Accept or Discard Suggestions
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.

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.

Use the arrow buttons in the Skip feature to move to the previous or next suggestion.
