Find what needs attention
Status filter: Buttons or tabs: All, Pending, Approved, Spam, Trash. Click one to show only comments in that status. The grid and counts update accordingly.
Search: A search field (often with debounced input) filters comments by content, author name, or other fields depending on implementation. Typing narrows the list so you find a specific comment quickly.
Other filters: Some setups offer filters by author, date range, or post. When available, they appear in a filter bar or dropdowns above the grid.
Clear filters: A "Clear all" or similar control resets filters so you see all comments again.
Find pending comments, spam, or a specific author/thread without opening each post.

In practice
Comment Manager — status filter, search, other filters, clear. On this page, Find what needs attention is covered in detail: what it looks like in the admin, the exact controls it exposes, and how it behaves when you use it day to day. The sections above walk through Shortcuts in order, so you can skim headings and jump straight to the part you need. Because find what needs attention is part of Comment Manager — a redesigned comments grid with inline moderation and AI-assisted replies — the settings you touch here interact with the rest of the feature; when in doubt, open the feature overview and follow the docs in order.
