How Do I Edit Comments in Web Viewer

Hi Speckle Team,

I’m loving the new viewer, and the comments in the Discussions tool in the web viewer are great, but I have ran into a couple of speed bumps.

1- If I misspell something in my comments, I can’t seem to edit them. Is there a way to do that?
2- If I want to delete a comment in a discussion bubble, I can’t seem to do that either. Is there a button I’m missing?
3 - When I mark a discussion as resolved, I can’t find it anywhere after I’ve resolved it. Under “Discussion visibility options” there is an option that says “Show Resolved (0)” even though there is one resolved discussion. It also doesn’t allow me to click the circle to show the resolve, turning my cursor into a red cancel circle.
4 - Is there a way to programmatically send viewpoints as comments to the Speckle Viewer using the API? I’m thinking coordination issues from other platforms would be awesome to visualize here (Navisworks, Newforma, ACC, Revit, Procore, etc).

Here is my model in question, I am working on my Master’s Thesis here at BYU on how to use BIM 3D models to teach construction sciences. We are hoping to use Speckle in the classroom to teach basic mechanical, plumbing, electrical, framing and safety principles in a 3D environment.

Other feedback:
There is another option that says “Exclude threads from other versions” that lets me see the comments from previous versions. This is gold. Thank you for including this.

I just found out that if I uncheck “Exclude threads from other versions”, that lets me show resolved comments. Now it lets me have both options, but it gave me a bit of grief at the start.

Also, are these settings something that could be set up at the model level so that people invited to view the model could have all the discussions visible or invisible to whatever the preferences of the administrator are?

On a similar vein, is there a way to make it so that the comments box doesn’t appear right on top of what I’m trying to highlight in my comments every time? I was flying through the model for a client and every time I wanted to show them an issue, I had to move the comments box.
