Adding comments on help content

You can provide feedback on help content easily using the commenting pane at the bottom of each help page. Your effort helps improve overall documentation quality. This system is closely monitored by the writers responsible for the content, so don't be surprised if you see a follow-up reply from other members of the Rational documentation team or other people on something you've posted.

Use the following steps to add a comment on an entire page, an element, or specific text:

  1. In a topic, click the Comment user interface (UI) text to open the commenting system UI.
  2. Determine what you want to provide feedback on:
    1. To comment on a specific paragraph (an element), click anywhere in the paragraph; then click Comment on Element.
    2. To comment on a specific part of a topic, select the text, and then click Comment on Free Selection.
    3. To comment on an entire topic, open a topic and then click Comment on Topic.
  3. In the resulting window, add a subject that summarizes your feedback; then, enter your specific feedback in the Comment field.
  4. Click Submit to save your comment.

    You can see which topics have comments by clicking the Collaboration tab in the navigation pane. You can see which topics have the most comments, expand comment details, sort by ID, and so on.
