Explore an overview of the different commenting types

00:09

In the tutorial on commenting,

00:11

we went through the mechanics of how to leave a comment, as well

00:14

as the details that are captured in the comments, such as resolution,

00:17

dynamic range, and time code.

00:20

It's important to note that there are a few different types of comments, all

00:24

with these same mechanics but that behave

00:26

slightly differently in terms of their visibility,

00:29

which will go over in this tutorial.

00:31

Firstly,

00:32

we have public comments, which, as the name suggests, will

00:35

be viewable by anyone who is a folder participant.

00:39

In other words,

00:39

if a user leaves a comment on an asset and

00:42

a colleague leaves a comment on that same asset.

00:45

Whenever either of them views that asset in the folder,

00:48

they'll be able to see both of those comments.

00:54

The ability to see and leave comments is available to any

00:58

and all participants on that folder regardless of their permission set.

01:03

The next type of comment is a private comment,

01:05

which is available by switching to the private tab at the top.

01:10

This type of comment is completely private to you and will only ever

01:14

be viewable by you, regardless of who else has access to the folder.

01:25

You can think of this as leaving yourself a note which you can reference later.

01:30

The last type of comment is a playlink comment.

01:33

Whenever a playlink is sent out,

01:34

the center of that playlink has the ability to turn commenting on or off.

01:39

If it's left on,

01:41

the mechanics and interface for leaving a comment,

01:43

when reviewing that playlink, will be the same as if doing so within the folder,

01:48

with one distinct difference.

01:51

Whenever you're commenting on an asset via a playlink,

01:54

you'll only be able to view your comments in the comments section.

02:04

If you happen to be a folder participant,

02:06

you'll be able to view all of the comments by

02:08

navigating to the folder and viewing them from there.

02:17

If you're not a folder participant,

02:19

you won't be able to see anyone's comments except your own.

02:23

If, of course, comments have been turned off altogether on a playlink,

02:27

the option to do so won't be visible at all.
