Exporting comments

You can export comments into a file so that they can used in other applications.

To export comments:
  1. Open the page that contains the Draft Artifacts widget.
  2. In the Publisher Navigator view, select an element that has a comment icon. The Comments view displays the name of the element that you selected and a table that lists the comments associated with it.
  3. In the Show field, select the scope of the export:
    • If you want to export only the comments for the element, select the element name.
    • If you want to export the comments for the element and its subelements or attributes, select the element name and its subelements.
    • If you want to export all comments in the current project, select All comments.
  4. Click Export. You are given the following two export options. Both options create a text file that contains information about the comment, the subject of the comment and details, and the responses to the comment.
    Option Description
    Export as tab-separated values This option separates the exported values using tabbed spaces. This format is the better choice if you will import the content into another application, such as a spreadsheet.
    Export as a record list This option separates the values by placing them on a new line. The comments and responses are delineated by a line of asterisks. This format is the better choice if you want to read the content.
  5. Click Submit. The File Download window opens.
  6. Save the file onto your computer.
