## Overview

The Comment Block allows you to add a comments section to your pages, giving members the ability to share their thoughts on a particular set or model. This block helps create a more interactive experience for your members.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Pro Tip**: The comment block is available on both your Tour and Member Area APPs. 

* Members can both add new comments and view comments available for that area
* People visiting your tour can only view comments
  {% endhint %}

## Comment Block Settings

The **Settings** tab controls how and where comments are used.&#x20;

The **Data Source** can be selected between Content Sets or Models. You can further refine what content the Comment Block is tied to using the **Filter** field.&#x20;

**Allow Comments** will let you determine whether commenting is allowed, not allowed, or uses the Theme Setting&#x73;**.**

## **Comment Block Design**

#### Block Design and Block Content

All blocks contain Block Design and Block Content settings. These control how the block fits into the page itself. This may include:

* Adding background colors, padding, classes, or IDs to the block
* Changing the width of the block, and how it fits into your page

More information about Block Design and Block Content settings can be found [here](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/member-areas-and-tours/themes/block-types).

## Comment Moderation

Depending on how your Member Area is configured, comments may **immediately appear for all members** or **require admin approval** before being shown.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Please note:** Regardless of the comment moderation setting, the original commenter will always see their own comments after submitting it.
{% endhint %}

The **Comment Moderation** setting can be modified on a **Member Area's** General Tab. To review comments, select the [User Interaction](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/user-interaction) section in the left-hand navigation or select the User Interaction tab when viewing a specific set or model.
