Batch Update Comment Status, @mention & Response Complete - January 2021

Feature Release, January 2021

We have released three new features in the Aquila:

• Batch Update Comment Status
  This feature allows commenters to change the status of multiple comments at one time. 
• @mention
  This feature allows users to call-out their colleagues within an internal discussion. Users that were “@mentioned” will receive an email notification alerting them to the related comment.
• Responses Complete
  This feature allows participating companies (e.g. Shipyards) to indicate that they have completed their review and/or finished adding responses to a revision’s comments.

See the following quick tips on how to use these new features. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions support@stage3systems.com
