Comments
During a review, reviewers leave comments targeted at specific parts of your course. Each comment can have a threaded discussion, making it easy to clarify feedback and track what needs to change.
Creating a comment
Section titled “Creating a comment”- In the review view, click on the element you want to comment on

- Add a title and optional description
- Set a priority: Low, Normal (default), or High
- Submit the comment
Reviewers can comment on any part of the course, from individual blocks to entire sections. Each comment is attached to the element it was created on, so the author always knows exactly what the feedback refers to.
Threaded replies
Section titled “Threaded replies”Once a comment exists, both the author and reviewers can add replies to discuss it further. Replies create a threaded conversation attached to the comment, keeping all discussion in context.
Comment statuses
Section titled “Comment statuses”Comments follow a simple workflow:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|

You can move comments between statuses as the conversation progresses. Comments can be reopened if needed.
