What Comment Merge does
Comment Merge combines related defect comments in a report into a single comment. Select up to three comments and Hive writes one new comment with a new title. The photos, location tags and descriptions from every comment you selected move into it, so the report reads shorter and less alarming without losing anything. It works in the defect summary, on the web and in the mobile app. Comment Merge is part of Hive AI, listed under Business Tools → Hive AI in the web dashboard, and it’s included on every plan.
How to merge comments
Open the defect summary
- On the web: open the report and use the three dot menu to open the defect summary, which lists every defect on the report together.
- On mobile: open the inspection, tap Report Editor and pick the report to reach the same view.
Select the comments and merge
- Tap Merge comments, select the comments that belong together (up to three) and confirm.
Check the new comment
- Hive gathers the photos, location tags and descriptions into one comment and writes a new title for it.
- A prompt names the comments that went in and the comment they became. On mobile, the new comment opens expanded.
Uncheck the originals yourself
- The comments you merged stay checked on purpose. Read the new comment first, then uncheck the originals.
Worth knowing
- Up to three comments per merge.
- Nothing is deleted for you. Because this is AI, Hive doesn’t uncheck anything by default.
- Needs an internet connection, like the other Hive AI tools. The rest of the app works offline and syncs when you’re back online.
