I’m currently setting things up for my community and am doing quite a bit of copywriting (lots of first, second, third and fourth drafts… :sweat_smile: ). Some of the content is starting to look decent, but there are bits and pieces that still need to be finalised. For example, I’ll write a note “in…

[imagen] stephtara: Is there a feature/plugin/something in Discourse that can help me keep track of all these “copyediting notes” I’m leaving all over the place? Perhaps you can bookmark them with a custom label? You can also set a reminder.

[imagen] stephtara: is there a way, when we’ll be ready to go live, to “purge” edit history for a topic and remove responses that were back-and-forth about the work in progress cleanly? Yes: [image] As for the responses, you mean replies, as post? Then sure you can remove posts, unless I m…

[imagen] Canapin: Then sure you can remove posts, unless I misunderstood something. I was under the impression that when you removed replies it remained visible that a reply was there at some point and had been removed. Not the case? Thanks for your responses! Bookmarking is an idea but I th…

[imagen] stephtara: Not the case? Only admin and moderators can see that posts were deleted :slight_smile: But I think you refer to the “(This post was deleted …])” you sometimes see, those posts, deleted by their author, are removed after 24h (can be changed in settings).

[imagen] Canapin: Do you want those highlights public or private? If public, you can use <mark></mark>. for the moment public is fine!! Thanks… I’ll try that. [imagen] Canapin: If private, you can use a [wrap] That could come in handy, what is a Wrap content

[imagen] stephtara: That could come in handy, what is a Wrap content Yeah sorry that was a bit vague: you can customize content using special tags to which you add custom CSS rules: [imagen] Customize posts' contents with your own styles Developer Guides …

Oh perfect! Going to dust off my 20-year-old CSS skills :sweat_smile:

If you wish to have inline notes in posts, you could use footnotes, perhaps? Then simply remove them and hide the edit history like what Canapin said above.

Oh, footnotes? How does that work? Sounds like a good idea!
