Updated on

Before you start

  • The course must already exist in Memberships › Courses › Products.
  • Decide your policy: comments open on every lesson, only on some, or closed.
Where to find it

Memberships › Courses › Products › (open the course) › Comments

Step by step

Set comments per module or per lesson

  1. Open Memberships › Courses › Products and click the course.
  2. Click the Comments section.
  3. To apply to a whole module, select the category and choose the state: Enabled, Hidden or Locked. Every lesson in that module takes that state.
  4. To fine-tune lesson by lesson, open the category and choose the state for each lesson.
  5. Use the product filter to switch to another course without leaving the screen.

The three states mean:

  • Enabled: the comment box shows, existing comments are visible and students can post new ones.
  • Hidden: the comment box doesn't show and existing comments are hidden.
  • Locked: existing comments stay visible, but students can no longer post.

Moderate comments across all courses

  1. Under Products, click Manage Comments.
  2. On each comment, use the visibility dropdown: User Only (visible only to you and the student who wrote it) or Public (visible to all students).
  3. To delete, select the comment and click Delete.
  4. To recover a deleted comment, open the Deleted tab, select it and click Restore.

Tips

  • Reply to comments regularly: feedback is part of learning and improves course completion.
  • Students get an email when their comments receive a reply; you can turn those emails on or off in the course's notification preferences.
  • To close the discussion on an old lesson without losing the history, use Locked instead of Hidden.

Common problems

  • Students don't see the comment box → The lesson or module is Hidden. Under Comments, switch it to Enabled.
  • Students see comments but can't post → The state is Locked. Switch it to Enabled.
  • A comment disappeared → It was deleted or is marked User Only. In Manage Comments, check the Deleted tab or change the visibility to Public.
  • I changed the module but one lesson is still different → That lesson has its own state set. Open the category and adjust that lesson.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reply to a comment directly in the lesson?

Yes. In the members area, the course creator replies inside each lesson's thread; you can also manage everything under Manage Comments.

Are comments private by default?

It depends on the state you set. With Enabled, comments are public to the lesson's students; you can switch a comment to User Only under Manage Comments.
