Default commenting experience

Important 

In Collibra 2024.05, we launched a new user interface (UI) for Collibra Data Intelligence Platform! You can learn more about this latest UI in the UI overview.

Use the following options to see the documentation in the latest UI or in the previous, classic UI:

Important This topic is applicable only if the New Commenting Experience feature is disabled in the latest UI.

The default commenting experience offers basic communication and collaboration on community, domain, and asset pages, such as adding or replying to comments. When you mention someone in a comment or reply, they receive an email notification.

Unlike the new commenting experience, the default commenting experience doesn't include advanced capabilities, such as marking comments as resolved, filtering threads by participation, or receiving email notifications for thread updates. This makes the default experience suitable only for straightforward discussions that don't need enhanced tracking or prioritization.

You can add comments to communities, domains, and assets. For example, if you want to discuss the description of an asset, you can do so via comments.

Permissions

The following table contains the resource permissions required to add, edit, or delete comments.

Tip You can always edit or delete your own comment.
Resource permission Description
Comment > Add Add or reply to a comment.
Comment > Update Edit others' comments.
Comment > Remove Delete others' comments.
Tip Adding, editing, or deleting a comment doesn't change the resource's last modified date.
