Comment on a specific block

Comment on a specific block

Block comments let you leave feedback on a single element — a text block, image, question, or any other block on the page — rather than on the course as a whole. Each block can have its own threaded discussion.

A comment pin appears in the block toolbar. When a block has open comments, a badge also appears at its top-left corner so you can spot active discussions at a glance.

How to use it

1. In the studio canvas, select the block you want to comment on.
2. Click the comment pin in the block toolbar to open the comments popover.
3. Type your feedback in the text area and select Comment to start a new thread.

To reply to an existing thread, use the reply field within that thread and press Enter to post your reply.

You can @mention invited reviewers and anyone who has already commented on the course. Click a suggested name to insert it into your comment. Mentions that include your own email are highlighted.

To resolve a discussion, select Resolve on that thread. Resolved threads are dimmed but remain visible. To reopen a resolved thread, select Reopen.

You can also browse all comment threads from the Comments panel in the studio toolbar. The panel filters threads by open or resolved status and shows an unread count for new comments. Select Go to element to jump to the block a thread belongs to. If the block has been removed, the panel shows Element removed instead.

Spot pages with open comments

In the review view, the page sidebar shows a small dot next to any page that has open comment threads, so you can see where feedback is still pending at a glance.
