# Discussion feed

The Discussion feed is a built-in comment thread available on every article and category page in Document360, where you can converse with, tag, and collaborate with any user on your project regardless of their role. Use it to work through peer reviews, approvals, and other feedback without leaving the portal. In the Markdown and WYSIWYG editors this feed is called **Discussion**, while in the Advanced WYSIWYG editor it's called **Comments**.

---

## Before you begin

- The Discussion feed is available to any portal user regardless of content role. **Readers**, who only have access to the published knowledge base site and can't log in to the portal, can't use it.
- If an article's workflow status is set to **Read only**, no user, including Reviewers, can add comments until the status changes.

## Add a comment to the discussion feed

1. Navigate to the desired article in the Knowledge base portal and select the **Discussion feed** (<span class="fa-regular fa-message-dots" data-type="icon"></span>) icon in the article header. The Discussion panel appears with the history of conversations, if any.
2. Enter your comment in the text box at the bottom right and select the **Send** icon. The comment posts as a bubble in the feed with a timestamp and profile name.

### Tag a team member in a comment

1. Type **@** followed by the user's name to tag anyone on your project.
2. Select the intended user from the list to complete the tag.



:::(Info) ( <p class="fa-regular fa-circle-exclamation" data-type="icon"></p> NOTE)
When you tag or mention a user, an email notification is sent to their address. The email includes:
- The name of the user
- The article name and link to the article
- The language and version
- The comment or message
- A login button to your Knowledge base portal
:::

### Delete a comment

1. Hover over the message bubble you want to remove. A **Delete** (<span class="fa-light fa-trash-can" data-type="icon"></span>) icon appears.
2. Select the **Delete** icon. The message is removed from the feed.

:::(Info) ( <p class="fa-regular fa-circle-exclamation" data-type="icon"></p> NOTE)
- Only you can delete your own comment or message.
- If you delete a message by mistake or need to restore it, select **Undo** in the deleted bubble. The comment is restored in the feed.
- Once the article is published, the Discussion feed is turned off.

## Best practices

- Tag specific reviewers with **@mentions** instead of leaving general comments, so the right person is notified by email.
- Wrap up open discussions before publishing, since the Discussion feed becomes inactive once the article goes live.
- If you delete a comment by mistake, select **Undo** in the deleted bubble to restore it instead of retyping it.
- For feedback tied to a specific part of the content, use <a href="/help/docs/reviewing-an-article-inline-comments" target="_blank" class="doc360-card__link">inline comments in the Advanced WYSIWYG editor</a> instead of the general discussion feed.
