Update comment settings

PATCH/settings/support/comments

Updates the lesson comment settings. Only the fields included in the request are changed; omitted fields are left unchanged.

Setting moderation_enabled to false publishes every comment in the account that is pending moderation. The number of comments published is returned in effects.approved_pending_comments.

To avoid overwriting a newer version, send the ETag returned by the retrieve operation in the If-Match header. The header is optional; when it is omitted, the update is applied to the current revision.

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>

Credential: the API credential secret, sent as a bearer token. Credential secrets are identified by a fixed prefix.

In: header

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key?string

Client-generated key that makes the request safe to retry. Must be 1 to 128 characters from [A-Za-z0-9._:-]. Optional on this operation; when sent, a malformed key returns idempotency_key_invalid, and repeating the request with the same key and the same body returns the stored result with Idempotent-Replayed: true.

If-Match?string

Expected revision of the resource, in the same format as the ETag header (W/"<type>:<id>:<revision>"). If the resource has changed since that revision, the request fails with 412 and the revision_mismatch error code. * matches the current revision. Any other value fails with 400 and the if_match_invalid error code. When omitted, the update is applied to the current revision.

X-Client-Request-Id?string

Optional client-generated identifier of the request, up to 64 characters from [A-Za-z0-9._-]. Echoed back in the response and recorded in the request log; it never replaces the server-generated X-Request-Id.

Lengthlength <= 64

Retrieve comment settings GET

Returns the lesson comment settings of the account: availability, moderation, tags, texts displayed to users, sort order, and posting limits. The response includes an `ETag` representing the current revision of these settings; changes to other settings groups do not affect it. Send this value in the `If-Match` header when updating these settings to avoid overwriting a newer version.

Retrieve FAQ settings GET

Returns the settings of the FAQ section in the student area: availability, title, and text. The response includes an `ETag` representing the current revision of these settings; changes to other settings groups do not affect it. Send this value in the `If-Match` header when updating these settings to avoid overwriting a newer version.
