# Comments

*Article Topics:* [*Comments, Ratings & Likes*](/getting-started/common-topics/comments-ratings-and-likes.md)

Comments let members discuss **Models** and **Content Sets** on any page that includes a **Comment Block.** A list of comments can be viewed in the Comment section of the User Interaction tab of the specific Model or Set and can be moderated, either automatically approved or held for review, so you can decide what is publicly visible, while the member can always see their own comment. You can set defaults for enabling comments and moderation behavior on the general tab of a Member Area.

## Comment Management

The Comments tab contains a list of comments that have been left on a Model or Content Set. From here, comments can be approved or denied in bulk. 

**A comment left by a member will always be visible to that member. The act of approving or denying a comment simply determines whether other members can see that comment.** 

You can enable or disable automatic comment moderation in the Member Area ⟶ General Tab ⟶ User Interaction section.

* **Details** - Depicts details related to the Comment, such as the Member Area and Content Set or Model the comment was made on.
* **Comment** - The Comments column depicts the date the comment was posted, the member who posted it, and their display name. Lastly, the comment itself will be displayed.
* **Status** - Depicts the status of the Comment, whether it is approved, denied, or waiting for moderation by an admin. If approved automatically, it will be indicated as such with "Auto Approved." If approved by an admin, the date and admin who approved the comment will be provided.

### Filtering Comments

Comments can be filtered by clicking the Filter button where comments can be filtered by Pending, Approved, Denied, and further filtered by Member Area.&#x20;

## Comment Block

Members can comment on any page with a **Comment Block** on it. Within the block details, you'll be able to determine whether commenting is allowed or not, or whether it uses the theme-wide setting. Found in the Theme ⟶  Block Defaults tab.

To learn more, see the [Comment Block](/content-management/member-areas-and-tours/themes/block-types/comment-block.md) article.
