About Discussions

Discussions in Contentstack enable seamless collaboration by allowing users to share comments on specific fields within an entry. This feature is particularly useful for providing feedback, sharing context, and ensuring the team members can communicate effectively while working on content. Discussions are tightly integrated into the entry editing workflow, making it easy to collaborate directly within the platform.

Key Features

• Enhanced Collaboration: Promote teamwork by enabling context-rich conversations directly on the content.
• Field-Level Precision: Ensure discussions are relevant and focused by linking them to specific fields within an entry.
• Efficient Review Process: Track, resolve, or reopen discussions as needed, streamlining the content review and approval process.
• Localized Feedback: Collaborate separately on different localized versions of an entry without overlap.

How Discussions Work

Discussions are initiated when you add the first comment to a field in an entry. Team members can then reply to the initial comment, creating a threaded conversation specific to that field. These discussions remain visible and actionable until they are resolved. Even after resolution, discussions are retained in the Discussions panel for reference.

You can access and manage all discussions from the Discussions section, located in the right-hand navigation panel of the entry editing screen. This panel provides an overview of all active and resolved discussions, helping you stay updated on ongoing conversations and decisions.
