What is the Discussion feature?

Discussion is a feature, that allows users to share ideas around content and stimulate conversation by allowing them to post about content and answer other people’s comments.

With Discussion, you can:

  • allow users to post under content

  • allow users to reply to other people’s comments

You can access Discussion by opening the Channel, Learnlist, or Item and scrolling to the bottom of the page:

How do I create a Discussion?

Firstly, in the Company Settings> Content> Discussion and Q&A, you have an option to either make the comments posted visible for all users or to give them an option to filter by Teams.

 

To enable Discussion, edit content (Channel, Learnlist, or Item) and find the appropriate section:

Who can post a discussion - enable an option to create a thread for either Admins and Curators or Admins, Curators, and Learners.

Once changes are saved, a Discussion box section will appear under content.

 

Users will then have an option to post, search through existing threads, and comment on other users’ posts.

By clicking on the three dots in the right upper corner of a comment left, users will have options to Pin, Edit, or Delete posts.

How can I view Discussions?

You can view Discussion posted by specific users by going to their user profile>Posts>Discussion.

In Content>Manage>Filter: Discussion enabled and in Activity>Content Log>Filter: Discussion enabled you can view a list of Items, Learnlists, and Channels with this option enabled.
