What is this?

With a comment you join the discussion about an announcement. Comments are ideal for asking questions, adding suggestions or replying to other members' posts, all directly below the announcement so the whole discussion stays in one place.

Typical reasons to comment:

  • A question about rehearsal info, for example about the time or the sheet music
  • Agreement or additions to an announcement
  • A suggestion to add to a poll
  • A reply to another comment
  • Extra info from the author without editing the whole announcement

How to write a comment

  1. Open the announcement from the announcements overview.
  2. Scroll down to the comments section.
  3. Tap or click the input field "Add comment" (app: "Write a comment...").
  4. Write your comment, short and to the point. Use @ to mention individual members and @all for everyone.
  5. Send the comment with "Submit comment" or Ctrl/⌘ + Enter (app: send icon). It appears below the announcement right away.

Who is notified?

When you send your comment, Chorilo notifies by email and push:

  • Everyone following the announcement: the author follows automatically, others turn on "Follow by email" above the comment list (app: "Subscribe")
  • Everyone you mention with @, and with @all all members

People who have only read the announcement and don't follow it get no notification, which keeps the noise down.

Permission

You need the View announcements permission to comment on announcements. All members have it by default. If you can see an announcement and comments are allowed, you can also comment on it.

Tips

  • Keep your comment short. Long texts belong in a chat or a separate announcement.
  • Say thanks with a reaction instead of a "Thanks!" comment. That keeps the discussion easy to follow.
  • Don't include sensitive information in comments; everyone who receives the announcement can see them.
  • Check your comment before sending. Notifications go out right away, even if you correct it later.

When comments are turned off

The author of an announcement can turn off comments, for example for pure information that needs no response. You then see no input field below the announcement, only a note that comments are turned off for this announcement. If you still have a question, message the choir leadership directly in a chat.

Frequently asked questions

Who gets notified when I comment?▾
Everyone following the announcement. The author follows automatically; others turn on "Follow by email" (app: "Subscribe"). Anyone you mention with @ is notified too, and @all notifies all members. The notification arrives by email and push, depending on each recipient's settings.
Can I edit or delete my comment?▾
Yes. In the “···” menu on the comment, choose **Edit** or **Delete comment** (app: pencil or delete icon). An edited comment shows “edited”. Anyone you newly mention with @ is notified, nobody else is notified again. If comments are turned off for the announcement, you can only delete your comment.
Do all members see my comment?▾
Yes. Comments are visible to everyone who can see the announcement itself; for an announcement sent to several choirs, that includes the members of the other choirs. There are no private comments. If you want to reply privately, use a chat instead.
Can I include attachments in a comment?▾
No, comments are plain text. If you want to contribute a file to the discussion, upload it in the right area (Sheet music, Files) and point to it in your comment.
