Suggesting Claims


note
Note:

This article is intended for participants with the Suggester role submitting suggested claims. For Owners or Admins responding to suggestions, see Responding to Suggestions.

About Suggesting Claims

  • If you have the Suggester role in a discussion, you cannot directly create claims. Following the same steps as Creating a Claim will instead suggest a claim, which a discussion Admin can choose to accept. 
  • Until a suggested claim is accepted, it is only visible to you and discussion Owners and Admins.
  • Once you’ve suggested a claim, you can create additional suggested claims (both pros and cons) under the original suggestion. You can also comment on your suggested claims, for example, if you want to clarify or explain a claim in more detail.
  • When responding to your suggested claim, the discussion Owner and Admins can either accept the suggestion (thereby making it a regular claim) or comment on it for further discussion (for example, to collaboratively fix an issue before accepting it). 
  • You receive a notification when an Admin accepts your suggestion or comments on it.

Editing Suggested Claims

To edit your suggested claim:

  1. Click the Edit button located underneath the suggested claim.
  2. Make the appropriate edits to the claim.
  3. Once finished, click Save.

Moving Suggested Claims

If you find a better location for your suggested claim after you create it, you can move it:

  1. Click the Move button located underneath the suggested claim.
  2. The suggested claim is copied to the Kialo Clipboard in the bottom-left corner of your screen.
  3. Navigate to the intended new location in a discussion, and drag-and-drop the claim from the Kialo Clipboard into the new location.

Archiving and Unarchiving Suggested Claims

If you decide you no longer wish to suggest a claim after you have submitted it, you can archive it by clicking the Archive button underneath the suggested claim. Archived claims do not appear on the Suggested Claims list for discussion Admins to review.

Archived suggested claims can be unarchived and restored:

  1. Click the Discussion Menu icon in the top-left of a discussion.
  2. Select My Suggested Claims.
  3. Check Show archived suggestions.
  4. Select the appropriate claim, then click Unarchive.
