Follow-up questions

How to send a follow-up question in the thread; who and when can do it

Question drafters and question submitters can ask follow-up questions once the question has the "Answered" status. To ask a follow-up question:

  • Open an answered question.

  • Type your follow-up question in the text box.

  • Send it, depending on your Q&A role:

    • Question drafters click Propose to save it as a draft for their team to review.

    • Question submitters click the arrow next to the send button and select Submit to send it to the answer side, or Propose to save it as a draft.

Follow-up drafts are visible only to your question team until they're submitted. A question submitter can then submit them the same way as other question drafts.

Once submitted, follow-up questions are visible to the answer side and the question team, to which the question submitter belongs.

Keep in mind that:

  • FAQ or questions with the status "Closed" cannot be followed up.

  • Follow-up questions are not auto-assigned to experts if this setting is enabled. Answer coordinators can answer these questions themselves or manually assign them to experts.

  • Follow-up questions are not included in the question limit if there is any set for the question team.
