## Overview

When voting is turned on, each comment shows an upvote and a downvote button with a running tally. Voting lets your people surface the most helpful contributions, and lets everyone sort the conversation by what's been upvoted most.

## How to vote on a comment

1. Open a discussion that has voting enabled. Each comment shows an **Upvote** (arrow up) and a **Downvote** (arrow down) button with counts.
2. Click **Upvote** or **Downvote** to cast your vote. Your choice is highlighted and the count updates.
3. To change your mind, click the opposite arrow — your vote switches. To remove your vote entirely, click the same arrow again.

> **Tip:** With voting on, you can sort the Comments section between **Earliest** and **Most upvoted** using the toggle at the top of the list.

## Things to keep in mind

* Voting buttons only appear when your organisation has enabled voting **and** the individual discussion has voting switched on. If you don't see them, one of those settings is off for this discussion.
* You have one vote per comment: up, down, or none. You can switch between them or clear your vote at any time.
* The counts reflect everyone's votes on that comment, not just yours.

## FAQs

**Why don't I see any voting buttons?**
Voting has to be enabled both for your organisation and for the specific discussion. If either is off, comments won't show vote buttons.

**Can I upvote and downvote the same comment?**
No. Each comment takes a single vote from you — choosing one clears the other. Clicking your current vote again removes it.

**Who turns voting on?**
Voting is controlled by your organisation's settings and by the discussion's own configuration, both of which are set by an administrator or the discussion's creator.

## Who can do this

Anyone who can see a discussion with voting enabled can vote on its comments — **Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users. Whether voting is available at all is controlled by your organisation's settings and the discussion's own voting option.
