When you click on the discussion bubble, a text box will appear in the lower right of your window, from which you can draft and submit your comment. To make a general comment on the pub, you can click on the “Add” button under discussions either in the right toolbar as you read the pub, or at the bottom of your pub.

How do I embed comments within my pub?

Embedding comments from readers and even from the author is a good way to highlight good points that have been made, draw attention to specific parts of the text, and ask for more guided help when drafting. To do so, type a forward slash to bring up the insert menu, from which you select “Insert Discussion Thread.” From here, you can select which thread you would like to embed and its alignment within your text.

How do I cite a pub?
