(v24) Add Widget Comments

Add Widget Comments

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

Users with Commenter or Editor roles for a dashboard can add comments to widgets in the dashboard: ask questions, spark conversations, or provide context. Comments are visible to all users who can access the widget in a dashboard.

• Commenter users can create, edit, format, and delete their own comments, as well as view all available comments associated with a widget.
• Editor users can create and edit their own comments, as well as delete other user’s comments and view all available comments associated with a widget.

Note: When users create a widget comment, it is linked to the widget in dashboard you've added it to. If you delete the widget or dashboard, the comments are deleted as well.

Add a comment to a widget

1. Select in a widget or the visual sidebar (if available). The Widget Comments work area opens.

2. Enter your comment using the widget format tools to adjust the look and layout of your text, or add links.

   As you add and update your text, you can use keyboard shortcuts to undo and redo text changes.

3. When you've added the information you need, select Save to save your comment.
