Publish and Unpublish Comments

Retroactively publish internal comments to status pages or hide public comments. Control stakeholder communication during and after an incident.

Published: Thursday, 27 August 2026

You can now retroactively publish internal comments to status pages or hide public comments. This gives you precise control over stakeholder communication during and after an incident.

How It Works

Feature Description
Setup Open the incident, go to the history timeline, edit a comment, and toggle Publish Comment on Status Pages.
Visibility Published comments appear on status pages that include the affected service.
Permissions The original comment author, Organization Owners, Organization Administrators, and Team Administrators can change this setting.

Limitations

  • The comment only appears publicly if the incident affects a service linked to that status page.
  • Hiding a comment does not retract subscriber emails that were already sent.
  • After posting, you must use the All Quiet web app to change visibility. Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Mattermost only let you set visibility when you create the comment.
