Moderating Global Blog Comments and Trackbacks

You can use the admin console to view comment and trackbacks made on global blogs, such as system and personal blogs. You can edit or delete comment text and delete trackbacks. If moderation has been enabled for comments or trackbacks, you can review them before they're visible to the community.

Note: A blog's author or an administrator can review comments and trackbacks (and enable moderation for them) through the blog's management page. For blogs in other places, including blogs in spaces, social groups, and projects, the blog's owner or the place's administrator are the only people who manage the blog, and they use its management page. For more on blog management, see How can I manage my blog?

Note: For more about managing blogs, be sure to see Managing Blogs.
