Comments Dashboard

Open Content → Comments in the Control Panel.

#Two views

Use the toggle in the top-right of the page header to switch between:

Table view: sortable rows with customizable columns. Select a row to open the editor.
Comment view: author details, rendered comments, actions, and inline replies.

Meerkat remembers each user's view. Search, filters, sorting, and pagination are stored in the URL.

Both views include:

Search: comment body and thread title.
Filters: moderation status, site, collection, and custom blueprint fields.
Sort: newest, oldest, author A–Z, or author Z–A. The sort list is only in the comment view. In the table view, select a column header to sort.
Customize Columns (table view only): show/hide columns. Saved as a user preference.

The dropdown in the top-right of the header offers:

Check Pending for Spam: checks each pending comment that has not already been checked. Requires check comment spam.
Edit Comment Blueprint: opens the comment blueprint. Requires Statamic's configure fields permission.
Export Comments (CSV): downloads the filtered rows as CSV.
Export Comments (JSON): downloads the filtered rows as JSON.

Both exports respect any active filters and the current search query.

Each comment row shows these primary actions when the user has the required permissions:

Less-common actions live in a More dropdown:

Moderation actions also appear in the table view's row menu and bulk menu. Reply, Edit, and View Revisions are available for one comment at a time.

See Moderating Comments for action behavior and permissions.

Selecting Reply opens an inline textarea.

The submit comments permission controls the form.
Replies are approved immediately as the current Control Panel user. Blueprint validation, reply depth, access permissions, and the entry close flag still apply. Frontend spam checks and automatic date closure do not.
Press ESC or select Cancel to close it. Meerkat confirms before discarding unsaved text or leaving the page.
