Enable page comments

If you choose, you can grant permission for users who visit your site to post comments on selected pages.

In this article:

Browse to the page you want to enable comments on.
Go to Edit > Edit page properties:
Expand the Advanced properties section and select Allow page comments; you can optionally Allow comments on uploaded files as well as, or instead of, page comments:
Choose the level of moderation you require:
- No comment moderation: Comments appear on your page immediately.
- Moderate comments by anonymous users: Comments by visitors who are not signed in will not appear until reviewed and approved.
- Moderate all comments: Comments by any user will not appear until reviewed and approved.
Tip: If you intend to allow comments from anyone, including those who are not signed in, we recommend you use moderation to prevent spam comments appearing on your page.

When a comment requires moderation, the page contact receives an email notification.
Select Save change.

Grant users permission to comment

By default, permission to comment is the same as the page's view permissions – or, when the page is public, any signed-in Warwick member.

To edit permission to comment:

Go to Edit > Edit page permissions:
The Edit permissions screen shows the current permissions:
In the Add permissions section, select the group or person you want to give commenting permission to:

To specify a web group, select This user or group and enter the web group name in the box – for example, in-elab is the web group for the IDG Web Team.
Select the Commenting radio button:
Select the appropriate button to apply the permission:
- Add permission to page: Add permission to the current page
- Add permission to page & sub-pages: Add permission to the current page and all pages below
Note: In order to comment on a page, a user must be able to view it. Adding Commenting permissions will automatically add View permissions for the selected user or group.
To remove comment permissions from a user or group, select the relevant button in the Current permissions section:
- Remove permission from page: Remove the selected permission from the current page
- Remove permission from page & sub-pages: Remove the selected permission from the current page and all pages below
When you have finished adding permissions, select Done.

When any user comments on a page, they can choose to receive an email when anyone else comments:

To receive notifications for page comments without first commenting yourself:

Select Notify at the top of the page:
On the Notification setup screen, select when a comment is posted:
To also receive notifications of comments on pages below the current page, select the to this page and any sub-pages radio button.
Select Save notification.
To stop receiving notifications of comments, return to the Notification setup screen for the page in question and deselect when a comment is posted. Alternatively, follow our process to manage notifications.
