Commenting
You can share comments and have discussions about Files with other users in Core. All commenting can be found in the Discussion panel in Core. The benefits of commenting and having discussions around assets within the system keeps users from having separate, distanced and insecure email conversations that are disassociated from the assets. Using commenting and discussions within CORE is one of the most valuable features of the system.
Discussion Panel
The Discussion panel can be accessed in various areas in Core: In File Search, click on the Discussion icon located at the top right of each Asset Group to open the Discussion panel.
In Asset Viewer, click on the Discussion icon located at the top right of the module to open the Discussion panel.
Anatomy of the Discussion Panel
Notes:
- A Discussion is a thread of comments about a particular file(s).
- New or updated discussions will appear at the top of all previous discussions in the panel.
- Replies/comments to a discussion remain within their discussion topic. Replies/comments can be accessed by clicking on the ‘Replies’ text or by clicking anywhere in the discussion box, which will expand that discussion to show its full comments thread.
