Changeset discussions

When using Crucible with FishEye, you can have threaded discussions with other users, on any changeset. To start a discussion, you simply start by adding a comment to a changeset.

You need to be logged in to create changeset comments.

Adding comments to changesets

To add a comment to a changeset:

1. Click on a changeset on the Commits tab for the repository. Display comments by clicking Discuss at the upper right corner, or the speech bubble icon in the left margin.
2. Click Add a comment (under the repository details near the top left). 
3. Type your comment. If required, you can tag your comment as being a defect note by clicking Defect. 
4. Click Post.

Once submitted, others can respond to your comment by clicking Reply. Replies are threaded as separate comment discussions. You can right-click on the permalink icon  to copy a link to the comment. The comment author can edit or delete their own comments.

To hide the changeset comments, click the page icon . You can display the comments panel by clicking the speech bubble icon again.

As you compose a comment, it will auto-save periodically.
