| * To comment on the issue, click **Comment**. In the dialog, type your comment and click **Post**. | |
| * To edit the issue title or description, click **Edit**. In the dialog, update the title or description as needed and click **Save**. | |
| * To close the issue, click **Close issue**. In the dialog, confirm that you want to close the issue by clicking **Close issue** again. | |
