# Content Feedback

## Learn how your team’s input can help keep your content sharp, up-to-date, and relevant!

---

Your team knows what’s working and what's not. Now they can give you content feedback in real time by flagging incorrect, confusing, or outdated training.

### Content feedback overview:

Feedback shouldn't stop just because training is published! Using content feedback, your trainees have a clear way to flag anything confusing, outdated, or missing.

<iframe width="256" height="145" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XzZJmpDCZVE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen title="How to Collaborate &amp; Share Content Feedback in Trainual" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border-width: medium; border-style: none; border-color: currentcolor; border-image: none;"></iframe>

💡 **The content feedback loop at a glance:**

1. Learners can click the “**Give content feedback**” **button** at the top of any published content they can access to share thoughts or flag issues.
   
   ![](https://help.trainual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-29-2025-04-15-25-5133-PM.png?width=227&height=46&name=image-png-May-29-2025-04-15-25-5133-PM.png)  
     - This type of feedback can **look like**... 
           - Something is incorrect or outdated.
           - It's confusing or unclear.
           - Issue with images, videos, or links.
           - It's not relevant to me.
           - Other / general feedback.
     - This type of feedback can be **left under**... 
           - [**Subjects**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/4112156-subject-structure-subject-topics-steps?hsLang=en).
           - [**Flowcharts**](https://help.trainual.com/en/flowcharts?hsLang=en).
           - [**Standalone videos**](https://help.trainual.com/en/upload-host-and-link-standalone-videos?hsLang=en).
           - [**Standalone files**](https://help.trainual.com/en/standalone-file-content-type?hsLang=en).
           - [**Tests**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5561626-create-a-new-test?hsLang=en).
2. Feedback is sent directly to the listed [**subject owner**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5600870-subject-owners?hsLang=en) (or [**next in line**](https://help.trainual.com/en/content-feedback?hsLang=en#:~:text=If%20there%27s%20no%20set%20subject%20owner) to help) via a direct email that links back to the content for quick action.
3. Feedback can be managed by the subject owner from the["**Home**" **page**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/8098477-the-home-page?hsLang=en).

 🧠 Think of this as a real-time suggestion box, built into every step of your training.

3. Choose the **feedback type** and include a **detailed note** in the pop-up window.
   
   ![](https://help.trainual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-03-2025-02-28-40-1750-AM.png?width=374&height=391&name=image-png-Jun-03-2025-02-28-40-1750-AM.png)

### Managing feedback:

Feedback is in, and now it’s your move. As the [**subject owner**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5600870-subject-owners?hsLang=en), you can...

- 📍 Access content feedback from multiple places.
- ✏️ Review and update content based on suggestions.
- ✅ Resolve feedback and keep your team engaged in improving training.

Keep reading to learn how to manage it all. 👇

**🔸 Accessing content feedback**

You’ll automatically receive notifications when someone submits feedback on content you own. Here’s where you can find them:

**→** "**Home**" **page**

1. **Log in** to your Trainual account and stay on the ["**Home**" **page**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/8098477-the-home-page?hsLang=en).
2. **Locate the** "**You have content feedback to review**" quick access box.
   
   ![](https://help.trainual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-06-02%20at%207-29-50%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=531&height=68&name=Screenshot%202025-06-02%20at%207-29-50%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)
3. **Click on a piece of feedback** from the list.
4. **Decide which action to take** on the feedback from the pop-up window. 
   
   ![](https://help.trainual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-06-02%20at%207-31-20%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=499&height=260&name=Screenshot%202025-06-02%20at%207-31-20%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)
   
   | **🔘 Option** | **🚀 Action** | **🔥 Pro tip** |
   | --- | --- | --- |
   | *Mark as resolved* | Immediately completes the task and removes it from your list on the "Home" page. | Great action to take on duplicate feedback submissions. |
   | *Save for later* | Keeps the item on your "Home" page list without any additional action. | Perfect for reviewing tasks, but saving them for when you have more bandwidth. |
   | *Go to content* | Redirects you to the called-out content with the [**feedback panel**](https://help.trainual.com/en/content-feedback#accessing-content-feedback-panel) open. | Best for when you're ready to jump in and get to work. |

**→ Email** 

As the **[subject owner](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5600870-subject-owners?hsLang=en)**, you will receive an email when feedback is left on your content.

Clicking the "**View content feedback**" **button** will redirect you to the content with the [**feedback panel**](https://help.trainual.com/en/content-feedback#accessing-content-feedback-panel) open to jump right in!

![](https://help.trainual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-06-02%20at%207-32-51%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=311&height=370&name=Screenshot%202025-06-02%20at%207-32-51%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)

🔸 **Resolving feedback** 

You can either mark feedback as resolved with a quick click or add a personalized note using the "Resolve and send reply" option. Both notify the original sender.

![](https://help.trainual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-06-02%20at%207-34-06%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=284&height=426&name=Screenshot%202025-06-02%20at%207-34-06%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)

**→ "Resolve"**

Use the "Resolve" button to **quickly mark feedback as complete**. It will automatically notify the person who submitted the feedback (*without* a personalized note), and you’ll see a confirmation that it’s resolved and that your notification was sent.

 

**→ "Resolve and send reply"**

Choose the "Resolve and send reply" button **to send out a personalized message and mark feedback as complete**.

1. **Add a custom note** or **select from pre-written suggestions** in the window.
2. Resolve the feedback by clicking the "**Resolve and send reply**" **button**.
   
   ![Screen Capture on 2025-06-02 at 19-35-56.gif](https://cdn-std.droplr.net/files/acc_55744/5G6WGq)

You’ll see a confirmation that it’s resolved and that your message was sent.

🔥 **Pro tip:** We *highly* recommend this resolve option for thoughtfully shouting out your teammate’s input and encouraging their continued efforts! 🥳

🔸 **Accessing the content feedback panel**

While editing content, you can view active and resolved feedback.

1. **Open your content** under "Edit mode."
2. Click the "**Content feedback**" **icon** to open the feedback panel. 
   
   ![](https://help.trainual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-05-28%20at%201-00-16%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=219&height=100&name=Screenshot%202025-05-28%20at%201-00-16%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)
3. **Switch between** the "Open," "Resolved," or "All" **feedback tabs** to complete tasks.
   
   ![](https://help.trainual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-28-2025-08-02-39-8458-PM.png?width=188&height=73&name=image-png-May-28-2025-08-02-39-8458-PM.png)

🔥 **Pro tip:** Have you knocked out these content tasks? Click the “**See other feedback**” **button** under the “Open” or “All” tabs to go straight to your next to-do.

### FAQs:

***What happens to feedback when a subject has and doesn’t have an owner?***  
When someone submits content feedback, Trainual automatically chooses a "**Send to:**" **recipient** based on:

1. If the subject *has* an assigned [**owner**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5600870-subject-owners?hsLang=en), that person will be the default recipient.
2. If there's *no* set subject owner, Trainual defaults to the first person with [**content edit access**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5575360-manage-subject-content-access?hsLang=en) in the recipient drop-down list.

📝 **Please note:** Only people with [**content edit access**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5575360-manage-subject-content-access?hsLang=en) to a subject will appear in the feedback recipient list, so feedback always gets routed to those who can take action!

***What happens to feedback if the people tied to it are no longer active?***  
When teammates are [**archived**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5578457-archive-unarchive-people?hsLang=en) or [**deleted**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5578576-delete-people?hsLang=en) from your Trainual, you will see the following changes to their connected content feedback. 👇

1. *For open feedback* — It will remain open, but automatically reassign based on: 
     - The standing**[subject owner](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5600870-subject-owners?hsLang=en)** (if one exists). 
           - FYI, reassigning a subject owner updates the feedback recipient. 👀
     - If there is no listed owner, feedback is reassigned to the first (longest-standing)**[Admin+](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/9242472-admin-vs-billing-admin-permission-overview?hsLang=en)** in the account.
2. *For resolved feedback* — Any connected user details will now display as: 
     - “Deactivated user” as the previous owner's name.
     - A gray generic icon for their avatar image.

***Can learners provide content feedback from the [Trainual mobile app](https://help.trainual.com/en/trainual-mobile-app-for-iphone-android?hsLang=en)?***   
Yes. Your teammates will see that same "Content feedback" icon in their training and can follow the [**same directions**](https://help.trainual.com/en/content-feedback#how-to-leave-feedback) as a desktop user to leave feedback. 

![](https://help.trainual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-07-02%20at%2011-22-06%E2%80%AFAM-png.png?width=267&height=412&name=Screenshot%202025-07-02%20at%2011-22-06%E2%80%AFAM-png.png)

***How can I submit my feedback & ideas about Trainual features?***  
If you'd like to share your thoughts about content feedback or think of something else you'd like to see added, send us your **[feature requests and ideas](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/4113422-how-do-i-request-a-feature?hsLang=en)**.
