# 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:

1.  Navigate to your [stack](/docs/headless-cms/about-stack) and select **Visual Experience**.
2.  Click **Editor** in the bottom pill menu.
3.  Use the website navigation or the **URL bar** to locate the page for which you want to view the comments.
4.  In the right sidebar, click the **Discussions** icon.
5.  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.
6.  To view field-specific comments, click the **Discussions** icon that appears next to fields on the canvas.
7.  You can also toggle the **Hide from Canvas** option to remove comment indicators from the page view while keeping them accessible in the panel. ![Discussions Panel overview](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2d43f51baca745a8/bltae1f9818f203039b/68c913503a47892518836098/1._discussions_overview.png "Discussions Panel overview")

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