Comments and community

Comment on a passage

Each comment is attached to the passage you're reading. The « Discussions » panel has two views: « This passage » and « Whole chapter ». You can attach an image, a file, a GIF, a video or a link, and add emojis. You need to be logged in to comment.

1. Click a passage in the text, then the « Comments » icon in the right sidebar: the « Discussions » panel opens.
2. Choose « This passage » or « Whole chapter ».
3. Type in « Write your comment here… ».
4. If you want, use the « Add an image », « Add a GIF », « Add a video », « Add a link » or « Attach a file » icons.
5. Click « Post ».

Key difference from other platforms: the discussion lives inside the text, anchored to the passage. If the creator has turned comments off, the icon doesn't appear.

Badges in the margin

Badges with avatars and the number of replies appear next to commented passages. One click opens that passage's thread directly. You can hide them.

1. Click a badge in the margin: the « Discussions » panel opens on that passage.
2. To hide them, open « Appearance » and turn off « Comments in the margin » (the Comments tab is still available).

Reply, react, mention

Threaded replies, 8 quick reactions plus an emoji picker, and mentions with @ (the person gets notified).

1. Under a comment, click « Reply ».
2. Type @ followed by the start of a name to mention someone.
3. Click « Post reply ».
4. Click « React » to pick one of the 8 quick emojis, or open the emoji picker.

Create a poll

A poll inside a comment, with results visible to « Everyone » or « Only me », and votes that are « Attributed », « Anonymous » or « Voter's choice ». To change your vote, click a different answer.

1. In the comment box, click the « Create a poll » icon.
2. Write « Your question… » and at least 2 options (« + Add an option »).
3. Choose « Results visible to » (« Everyone » or « Only me ») and « Vote identity ».
4. Click « Add poll », then « Post ».

1. On a comment, click « More actions » (the three dots).
2. Choose « Edit », « Delete » or « Report ».
3. To edit, change the text, then click « Save ».
4. To report, choose a reason (« Spam », « Harassment », « Offensive content », « Spoiler », « Other »), then click « Report ».
