Introduction

Comments adds a discussion section to your articles. Readers sign in with their account, post comments, reply to each other and like the comments they agree with.

Publishers use it to build a community around their journalism, bring readers back to follow the conversation and give registered readers a reason to sign in.

Features

1Conversations: Readers comment, reply to each other and add emoji, and can sort the discussion to find what interests them.
2Likes: Readers like comments and replies, which highlights the most valued contributions.
3Reporting And Moderation: Readers can report comments, and your team can review pending comments, mark spam and block users.
4Your Guidelines: Show your community guidelines above the comment box, and optionally open the full discussion in a side drawer. Readers are notified when someone replies.

How it works

Create a Comment experience in the UniSignIn dashboard and place it under your article; otherwise it appears at the end of the page. Readers sign in with their account to take part, and a half-written comment is kept while they sign in. On WordPress, the UniSignIn plugin puts comments in your theme's comments area.
