3. Tracking comments

You can easily follow in real time, comments left in your space, that you write, and responses from members through the "Activity" page ("My Space" menu).

Comments in your space

By clicking on the tab "In your space", you can see all the comments that members have left for you.

Your comments for others

The comments that you write in others are grouped under "Your comments". This tab also lets you see comments left after yours. To stop following a thread of comments, click "[x] do not follow anymore" under the thumbnail of the document.

Responses to your comments

To see only the answers to your comments, click on "Your comments" and then on "Direct replies only" (top right).


There is also a comments RSS feed which you can subscribe to at the bottom left of the page to follow the comments without logging on to ipernity.

TIP: try to use the "reply" link when responding to a comment. It will help the member know that you've answered them!

You decide whether or not to receive the summary and choose the frequency in your email notification preferences.

You can also follow the activity in your space or the responses to your comments.

The RSS feeds are available on most pages for each user as well as on the latest publications, for public documents.
