Changelog

Readers can now comment on your blog posts, reply to each other and react, right on the post. You review and answer every comment from a new Comments tab in Blogs.

Turn readers into a community. Answer questions where they're asked. Stay in control of what goes live.

🚀 What's new

Comments on Every Post

Add the new Comments element to your blog post page once, and every post on that blog site gets a comment section. Readers can:

• Write comments and reply to other readers

• Add emoji and attach an image

• Like or dislike any comment

• Follow threaded conversations, with Load more comments for long discussions

Easy Sign-In for Readers

• Returning readers sign in with their email and a one-time code, with no password needed

• New readers create an account in the same window, without leaving the post

Moderator Badge

Replies from your team carry a Moderator badge, so readers can always tell your answers apart from other comments.

New Comments Tab

See every comment across your blog site in one place:

• Total comments, comments this month and comments waiting for approval, each with a trend line

• Filter by status or post, or search

• Reply, approve or delete any comment

Review Pending Comments One by One

Step through comments waiting for approval with the full conversation shown, reply as any author on your blog, and open the live post in one click.

Comment Settings for Each Blog Site

• Require approval: new comments stay hidden until you approve them

• Email notifications: get an email for every comment, or one daily digest

• Send notifications to: choose who receives those emails

• Apply to all blog sites: use the same settings across the sub-account (recipients stay per site)

1. Go to Sites → Blogs and open your blog site

2. Open the blog post page in the builder

3. Add the Comments element and style it to match your site
