Comments and discussions

Comments in GitBook allow you to have as much (or as little) conversation as you like around specific pieces of content — without switching over to a workplace chat tool or 'jumping on a call'!

Comment within your content

You can comment on any block within your content. The comment will be displayed in a right hand panel which you can open by clicking on the icon in the sub-navigation.

Commenting on a specific content block

Comment threads

Any top-level comment in GitBook can be replied to, turning it into a discussion thread.

Resolving comments

Commenting and discussions can get messy, especially with larger teams! To reduce the noise, you can resolve a comment at any time. Resolving a comment will hide it in the interface, but still keep it accessible in the 'Resolved' tab of the space's comments sidesheet.

Reacting to comments

You can also leave an emoji reaction on any comment.
