Discussions and Commenting

^{Last Update: 2026-02-25}

Purpose

This article outlines the Comment/Discussion function for user interactions regarding findings.

Introduction

This article explains the Comment/Discussion function for user interactions regarding findings. Users can initiate discussions by selecting a finding, accessing the Comments tab, and adding comments, with the option to engage with the Outpost24 AppSec team if eligible. The process includes toggling the Start a discussion with Outpost24 switch and allows users to delete individual comments or entire discussion trees, which are marked as deleted. Additionally, discussions are typically customer-internal, and only those with the appropriate subscription can initiate dialogues with the Outpost24 AppSec team.
