While announcing the tools, the company also explained how Facebook users can check the criteria needed for hiding comments. To do so, users need to access the inline comment preview and criteria tag in the activity log of the Moderation Assist tool.
Facebook will also allow creators to view moderation statistics like the number of comments hidden by the user in the past 30 days. These figures will be available in the insights section of the Moderation Assist’s Activity Log.
Apart from this, creators will even have the ability to search comments by keywords. These keywords include emojis, commenter names and dates on their posts. Creators can also take bulk actions, such as liking or hiding from the Comments Manager option which is available in the Professional Dashboard.
