Pause Comments
(Content Studio)
The pause button allows you to pause the flow of new comments into the Moderation Hub. This way, you are able to moderate existing comments before moving on to new ones.

PAUSING OFF - Comments will flow into the Moderation Hub.
PAUSING ON - New comments will not appear in the Moderation Hub unless you opt to view them.

Filter Comments
(Content Studio)
Select Channel to filter content in the Moderation Hub. You can filter content by social channels as well as by:
- Comments - Questions, comments, and uploads initiated by your audience.
- Public Replies - Replies to posts.
- Moderated Writer - Posts are written by a user with a 'Moderated Writer' permission level.
Note: If tags have been applied to comments, use the Search Tags field to filter content by tags.
Tag Comments in Moderation
(Content Studio)
Users can add single or multiple text-based tags to posts in the Moderation Hub - including comments. Users can then filter this content by tags.
Sample use case: Amy can filter her view to focus only on content that Sam curated and tagged "Approved". Amy knows that this content has already been approved by Sam - her editor, so it is safe for publishing.
To apply a tag to a comment:
1. Click the Tags icon underneath the comment.
2. Type words into the tag field, separated by commas.
To search for comments with tags:
1. Click the Tags icon at the top of the Moderation Hub.
2. Enter the tag names in the Search Tags field or select a tag from the list.
