Page discussions

Discussions are contextual conversations attached to specific items.

Page discussions appear inside project pages, event pages, resource pages, and document detail views. Their value is contextual memory: a question asked on the object itself is easier for future readers to understand than a detached email. Use page discussions when the content of the message only makes sense in relation to a specific object.

Where discussions appear:

  • project pages
  • events
  • marketplace resources
  • news items

Advantages

  • keeps communication linked to the content
  • preserves context
  • allows multiple participants

Typical use cases

  • asking questions about a resource
  • discussing project details
  • providing feedback
  • clarifying metadata or content

Discussions are preferable to private messages when context matters.
