Start a discussion
You can start several discussions in Portals. A discussion represents an initial note and all the comments added to it.
To start a discussion, you add an initial note and select who should receive it. You can also create private notes, which are visible only to you.
Important: To participate in the same discussion, ensure that you are logged in to the same application and use the same tab as your collaborators.
