About moderating discussions

{% data reusables.discussions.about-discussions %} If you have triage permissions for a repository, you can help moderate a project's discussions by marking comments as answers, locking discussions that are not longer useful or are damaging to the community, and converting issues to discussions when an idea is still in the early stages of development.

Locking discussions

It's appropriate to lock a conversation when the entire conversation is not constructive or violates your community's code of conduct or {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}'s Community Guidelines. You can also lock a conversation to prevent comments on a discussion you want to use as an announcement to the community. When you lock a conversation, people with write access to the repository will still be able to comment on the discussion.

{% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-repo %} {% data reusables.discussions.discussions-tab %}

  1. In the list of discussions, click the discussion you want to lock. Lock discussion
  2. In the right margin of a discussion, click Lock conversation.
  3. Read the information about locking conversations and click Lock conversation on this discussion.
  4. When you're ready to unlock the conversation, click Unlock conversation, then click Unlock conversation on this discussion.
