Add a comment when you edit a page
When you edit a page, you can include a short comment to describe what you changed. The comment appears on the History tab alongside the edit date. It can help other editors understand what changes you made.
-
To view existing comments, go to Edit > More, then select the History tab:
- Browse to the page you wish to edit.
-
Go to Edit > Edit centre content or Edit right content. Before you publish your changes, look in the toolbar and identify the Comment and Minor edit buttons:
- If your edit is small – for example, correcting a spelling mistake – select Minor edit. After you publish the page, your edit appears on the History tab. Any subscribers to page change notifications do not receive an email notification.
- If you change is significant – for example, updating a list of modules for a new academic year or deleting sections – select the Comment button.
-
Enter your comment in the pop-up window – for example, Updated spring term modules.
- Select Save next to your comment.
- Once you have finished editing the page and saved your comment, select Publish.
- Go to Edit > More, then select the History tab. The topmost row shows the most recent change and your comment.
