Editing & Deleting Comments

Feedback evolves. Sometimes you fire off a comment and immediately realise you want to reword it, or a note becomes irrelevant after you have addressed the issue. Producer Dashboard lets you edit and delete comments so your feedback threads stay clean and useful.

Editing a Comment

Section titled “Editing a Comment”

You can edit any comment you wrote after it has been posted. This is useful for fixing typos, adding clarification, or updating a note as your thinking changes.

To edit a comment:

  1. Open the comments widget in the activity panel for the relevant track
  2. Find the comment you want to edit
  3. Click the edit option in the comment’s action menu (the three-dot icon or similar)
  4. The comment text becomes editable — make your changes
  5. Press Enter or click save to confirm

Your updated comment replaces the original text. The comment keeps its position in the thread, its timestamp link (if it is a timestamped comment), and its pin status (if it was pinned).

The “Edited” Indicator

Section titled “The “Edited” Indicator”

After you edit a comment, a small “edited” label appears next to it. This lets other people on the track know the comment was modified after it was originally posted. The indicator is subtle — it does not draw excessive attention, but it maintains transparency about what changed.

The original text is not stored or visible after editing. If you need to preserve the original wording for reference, consider adding a new comment instead of editing the existing one.

What You Can Edit

Section titled “What You Can Edit”
  • The comment text itself
  • That is it — you cannot change a comment’s timestamp, time range, or author after the fact

If you need to move a timestamped comment to a different point on the waveform, delete the original and create a new one at the correct position.

Deleting a Comment

Section titled “Deleting a Comment”

Sometimes a comment needs to go entirely — it was made in error, it is no longer relevant, or you just want to clean up the thread.

To delete a comment:

  1. Open the comments widget for the track
  2. Find the comment you want to remove
  3. Click the delete option in the comment’s action menu
  4. Confirm the deletion when prompted

The comment is permanently removed. If it was a timestamped or range comment, its marker is also removed from the waveform. If it was pinned, it is unpinned and deleted.

Deletion is Permanent

Section titled “Deletion is Permanent”

There is no undo for deleting a comment. Once it is gone, it is gone. If the comment contained important information, make sure you have captured it elsewhere (in a todo, a note, or a new comment) before deleting.

Permission Rules

Section titled “Permission Rules”

Not everyone can edit and delete every comment. Here is how permissions work:

Your Own Comments

Section titled “Your Own Comments”

You can always edit and delete your own comments, regardless of who owns the track. If you wrote it, you can change it or remove it.

Other People’s Comments

Section titled “Other People’s Comments”
  • Track owners can delete any comment on their tracks, even comments written by collaborators
  • Track owners cannot edit other people’s comments — only delete them

This means if a collaborator leaves a comment that is outdated or inappropriate, the track owner can remove it. But the track owner cannot put words in someone else’s mouth by editing their comment.

On Shared Tracks

Section titled “On Shared Tracks”

Comments left by external collaborators via share links follow the same rules. As the track owner, you can delete their comments if needed. They can edit their own comments from the shared page.

Keeping Comments Clean

Section titled “Keeping Comments Clean”

A few practical tips for maintaining useful comment threads:

Resolve and Remove

Section titled “Resolve and Remove”

When you have addressed a piece of feedback, consider deleting the original comment (or at least unpinning it). This keeps the thread focused on what still needs attention rather than accumulating a history of resolved issues.

Edit for Clarity, Not Revision

Section titled “Edit for Clarity, Not Revision”

If you want to change the substance of your feedback, it is often clearer to leave a new comment rather than editing the old one. “Actually, ignore my previous note — the levels are fine” as a new comment provides more context than silently editing the original.

Use Todos for Tracking

Section titled “Use Todos for Tracking”

If a comment represents work to be done, create a todo from it rather than relying on the comment thread as a task list. Todos have checkboxes, due dates, and assignees. Comments do not.

Batch Cleanup

Section titled “Batch Cleanup”

After a feedback session wraps up and all the changes are made, go through the comment thread and clean out anything that is no longer relevant. This keeps the track’s comments focused for the next time you or someone else opens it.
