Make bulk changes to topics
The Manage topics feature allows you to make bulk changes to the topics your comments are tagged with. These changes are applied at question level. This means changes are only applied to comments that belong to the question you've selected.
You can use manage topics to rename or remove topics.

filter comments. ✨ Advanced Text Analysis only
You can search for comments by entering a keyword or exact phrase.
You can filter comments by:

You can also apply:
more than one option within a filter

Translating comments
If you have the Comment Translation upgrade, comments in the Text Analysis report will be translated into English where possible. For example, if a comment is written in Spanish, you will see an English translation above it.
Comments are translated using Google Translate. Google Translate supports around 133 languages.
We are currently working on extending this feature so you can translate comments into languages other than English. For example, Spanish to Vietnamese.
Sensitive comments tab
The Sensitive comments tab acts like a folder. It highlights comments on sensitive topics like bullying, sexual harassment, and mental health risks.
It is a common tab. This means everyone with access to the Text Analysis report for that survey will see the same comments and be able to add or remove them.
Sensitive comments can be added to the tab:
manually, or
automatically. ✨ Advanced Text Analysis only
If you have Advanced Text Analysis but think a comment has been incorrectly marked as sensitive or should have been marked as sensitive, you can use the following manual instructions to make changes.
To add a comment to the Sensitive comments tab:
Select Edit in the top right corner of your comment.
Select the checkbox Mark as sensitive.
Select Save.
To remove a comment from the Sensitive comments tab:
Select Edit in the top right corner of your comment.
Unselect the checkbox Mark as sensitive.
Select Save.
Starred comments tab
The Starred comments tab acts like a folder. You can use it to store comments you'd like to refer back to. For example, if you want to collect comments for a report or presentation.
It is a private tab. No one else can view or edit what's in your Starred comments.
To add a comment to the Starred comments tab:
Find the comment.
Select the Star icon in the top left of the comment box.
When you return to the tab, you will see your comment listed there.
To remove a comment from the Starred comments tab:
Find the comment.
Unselect the Star icon at the top left of the comment box. Refresh your page for the comment to disappear from the tab.
