Feedback in Edit View

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

To learn how to locate a comment, get notifications about comments, change the status of a comment or archive comments, see Feedback in Review View. These features work the same in both views.

When providing feedback comments in Paligo, the comments will appear in the Comments sidebar. As a contributor, you can also add replies to comments in the Comments Sidebar. Adding comments in Edit View can be done in two ways:

  • If not activating Edit View, it works the same as in Review View. You add a comment by selecting a text or phrase and then entering your feedback.

  • When Edit View is activated, use the Comment toolbar option to add a comment to the content you are editing.

Tip

To learn more about the features, see Edit View Features.

The following instruction will show how to add comments when Edit Mode is activated.

  1. Select the assignment in the Assignments Panel.
