Q: Hi, I tried to link an image from "files" section to a discussion, but there seems to no option to do that.

Also can't seen to edit comments on "discussion" board once posted.

Are you planning to update to allow links to files and comment editing?
Also it would be nice to share a link to a doc, image uploaded to "file" section to clients or social media.

Thanks.

A: Hello there,
Comments cannot be edited. We thought about this a lot, and we wanted Bloo to be the one source of truth. Eventually, we will make it editable and then show the changes to the comments if someone wants to dig in and review the changes.
As for link files to discussions or updates, we don't have the feature available yet.

Hope that answers your question!

Serah, I'm an editor. This is not a great idea. People misspeak/mistype all the time. Imagine if a publisher published a book with all the previous edits. Reconsider this.

Hey @chariot,

Totally get where you're coming from. As Serah mentioned, this is just the initial way we've coded this.

In the future, we do want to allow edits but also have a history of the edits made to the comments. This is especially important to companies working with clients when they are getting approvals, as you can imagine the mess if someone edited the message where they approved something and nobody could know the original message!

I hope you understand the idea behind why we are thinking about it this way.

Kind regards,

Manny

You should plan this. Also editing is very basic feature that it should be made.
