The Super chat widget is a tool that can be used for real time interaction with participants. The widget contains many features that can be used for facilitating conversation and summarizing/analyzing of the conversation afterwards.
By clicking on the dotted menu in the top corner of the widget, admin users will see the following options:
Edit: Edit mode gives admin users the ability to manage the options that determine how participants interact with the widget. The contents of the edit section will be described in more detail later in this article.
Artificial Intelligence: There are several AI features available for analyzing and summarizing the comments and replies in the widget. This is particularly useful when there is a large amount of content. Instead of having to read through every single comment, the AI features can be used as a quick and easy way of understanding the main points of the discussion.

Show users who have/have not commented: These two options can be used to see who has and hasn't commented in this particular widget. If someone has commented or replied to a comment, they will appear on the 'has commented' list. Once either list is opened, you have the option to send an email to all the users on the list. As an example, this can be used to send reminders to participants who have not yet commented anything.
Sort comments by: Comments can be sorted and re-arranged based on different parameters. You can bring the most liked comments to the top, where they are more visible. The sorting can also be done based on organization, if they have been defined in the workspace. Once the comments are sorted, the order can be made the default order.
Filter comments: The feature allows for filtering comments based on the profile fields of the commenter. If you want to quickly and easily find comments from participants that have a certain profile field, you can hide all other comments but theirs with this feature.
Export to Excel: Export the data (comments, replies, likes, points, commenter information etc.) from this widget into an Excel file (.xlsx) that you can save locally.
