Description

T250295 introduces an alert within the Reply Tool to make people aware when a new comment(s) is added to a discussion they are drafting a comment within.

This task extends the work in T250295 work by making it easier for people to locate and see the particular comment(s) that have been added/changed.

Story

As someone who has decided to "show" the updates to the discussion I am drafting a comment within, I want to be able to easily identify what exactly about the discussion has changed, so that I can decide what –if any – adjustments I ought to make to the comment I had been drafting.

Requirements
