Who can moderate comments?

Users with the Administer comments and comment settings permission (typically administrators) can moderate comments. You will also need the Access the Content Overview page permission from the Node module (if it is installed) to navigate to the comment management page.

Steps

  1. In the Manage administrative menu, navigate to Content > Comments. A list of all comments is shown.
  2. To unpublish comments, select one or more comments by checking the boxes on the left side (right side in right-to-left languages). Then select Unpublish comment from the Action select list and click Apply to selected items. If you select the Delete comment action, you can instead delete the unwanted comments.
  3. To change the content of a comment click Edit from the dropdown button for a particular comment.
  4. To publish comments that are not yet visible on the website, navigate to the Unapproved comments tab. Select one or more comments by checking the boxes on the left side (right side in right-to-left languages). Then select Publish comment from the Action select list and click Apply to selected items.
