Manage messages

Depending on your permissions, you can take the following actions on a message:

  • Edit — update the subject or body.
  • Delete — permanently remove the message.
  • Hide — hide the message from other users. Select Show to make it visible again.
  • Follow post — select the star icon to receive a notification when others reply to the message.
  • Report as inappropriate — flag a message to notify your administrator. This option only appears on other users' messages.

Filter by version

If the item has multiple versions, use the Show comments for version dropdown to display messages for a specific version. Select All to see every message regardless of version.

Settings

Discussion settings are configured at the platform level by your Janison administrator:
