Delete a Work Item Comment

I was wondering if it is possible to delete or archive a work item
comment? From an admin point of view can any selected comments be
hidden or removed yet still maintaining an audit history?

If you have Admin permissions, you can empty a comment (right click on
the comment to get the context menu). The audit trail is preserved.

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for answering so quickly. When you mention that you can empty a comment -- does that mean in the audit history you can see what content was emptied?

Thanks!

Yes, you can still see in the audit history the content that was
"emptied", so this doesn't delete the information from the database ...
it just makes it a little harder to find. Also note that the comment
that was emptied still shows up in the comments section, but with an
annotation that the content was removed.
