# [Visual Editor] - Discussions

This page explains how to use the Discussions panel in Contentstack’s Visual Editor to collaborate with team members by adding, viewing, filtering, and resolving feedback on page fields. It is intended for content managers, editors, and reviewers who need to manage comments during content review within the Visual Editor.

## Discussions

The Discussions panel allows you to collaborate with team members by adding, viewing, and resolving feedback directly on any fields within a page.

It simplifies the review process by organizing discussions, tracking their status, and maintaining context all within the Visual Editor environment.

To access the Discussions panel, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login/), and perform the following steps:
- Navigate to your [stack](/docs/developers/set-up-stack/about-stack) and select **Visual Experience**.
- Click **Editor** in the bottom pill menu.
- Use the website navigation or the **URL bar** to locate the page for which you want to view the comments.
- In the right sidebar, click the **Discussions** icon.
- Within the panel, filter the discussions by selecting one of the following views:**Active**: Displays ongoing discussions.
- **Resolved**: Displays completed discussions.
- **Timeline**: Shows a chronological history of all feedback.
- To view field-specific comments, click the **Discussions** icon that appears next to fields on the canvas.
- You can also toggle the **Hide from Canvas** option to remove comment indicators from the page view while keeping them accessible in the panel.

The Discussions panel makes it easier to manage comments directly on the canvas, ensuring clearer communication, faster approvals, and a smoother content review process.
