Using the File Discussion Pane

The File discussion pane allows you to access discussions for files stored in Document. After adding the File discussion pane to Dashboard, you can click the link in the Discussion Title column to view a discussion. You can then use the buttons in the Open Discussion window to view, reply, edit, or remove a discussion.

You can click a column to sort the grid by that column. You can also drag a column header to another place in the grid to rearrange columns.

Explain the columns in the File discussion grid.
