Introduction
Docebo Creator lets you collaborate with other content creators, reviewers and stakeholders directly inside a lesson. Real-time commenting allows you to add contextual comments on the entire lesson, on specific content elements or on a specific passage of text, and see feedback from your collaborators as soon as they post it. This article explains how to add, manage and resolve comments while editing a Creator lesson.
To learn how to edit lesson content, refer to the article Editing lessons with the Creator tool.
Prerequisites
Real-time commenting is available to Superadmins and Power Users with edit access to the Creator lesson.
Comments are visible only to users who have access to the Creator lesson in edit mode. Learners playing the published lesson cannot see or add comments.
Using the comments panel
The comments panel lists every comment thread in the current lesson. From the options menu in the panel header, you can hide the comments panel, sort threads by date or by unread status, show or hide resolved comments, mark all comments as read, and mark all comments as resolved.
Adding a comment
You can leave a comment on a specific element or on the lesson as a whole. To comment on an element, select the element you want to comment on; a comment icon appears next to it — select it to open the comment thread panel. To leave a comment on the entire lesson instead, select the comment icon in the editor header; this opens the same comment thread panel, scoped to the whole lesson rather than a single element. Type your comment in the text field and post it. Your comment becomes visible immediately to every collaborator currently working on the lesson.
To comment on a specific passage of text, select the words you want to comment on inside a text element, then select the comment icon in the text editing bar. The comment thread panel opens and shows the selected text. Type your comment in the text field and post it. The selected text stays highlighted in the editor, so your feedback remains tied to the exact words it refers to. To read the thread again later, select the highlighted text.
Please note: You cannot add inline comments on hotspots. To give feedback on a hotspot, comment on the element itself or on the lesson as a whole.
Example: If you want feedback on the phrasing of one sentence in a paragraph, select only that sentence and add an inline comment. Reviewers can reply directly in that thread instead of sending screenshots over chat or email, and everyone can see which words the feedback refers to.
Reacting to a comment
Open a comment thread and select the emoji icon next to the comment you want to react to. Choose an emoji from the picker to add your reaction; it appears immediately below the comment and is visible to every collaborator working on the lesson. Select an emoji you've already used to remove your reaction.
Managing comment threads
Each comment can be replied to, edited, resolved or deleted. To reply to a comment, open its thread and type your reply. To edit or delete your own comment, open the thread, select the comment and choose the corresponding option. Inline comment threads work in the same way as any other comment thread, and they also appear in the comments panel.
Resolving a thread marks the discussion as complete and archives it, without deleting the comment history. Resolved threads are hidden from the comments panel by default; select Show resolved comments from the panel options to display them again.
