  2. ClosedOpen the Discussions tab in the utility panel.

      You can also point to the tab icon to view the name of the tab.

Discussions can be expanded and collapsed by clicking anywhere on the header of the discussion, or by using the expand and collapse buttons. When you click the collapse buttons, the entire discussion is collapsed, including the original comment and all replies.

You can change the status of a discussion to either Open or Closed. The status is applied to the entire discussion. In other words, you cannot assign a status to individual comments and replies. Read more about changing the status of a discussion.

Note: Your project administrators may have configured custom discussion status values in addition to the default status values of Open and Closed.
