# Q\&A

* **Enable Q\&A**\
  Allow participants to post, answer, and moderate questions. Answering and moderating require permission. Learn about the Answer questions in Q\&A, See all questions and Moderate Q\&A [permissions](https://docs.digitalsamba.com/dashboard/adding-moderation-to-your-rooms-with-roles/permissions).
* **Upvoting**\
  Will allow participants with the ‘Upvote Q\&A’ permission to vote for questions. Helps moderators prioritise answers based on participant interest.

  * **In-session actions**: Voters can upvote questions by clicking the 'thumbs up' icon. Participants can sort questions by votes, which allows repliers to prioritise answering based on interest.<br>

    The Q\&A panel now includes an **“All questions”** filter by default, making it easier to follow the full discussion without switching views. This filter shows all questions, including open and answered ones.

    To manage questions more effectively, additional filter options remain available:

    * **Open**: Displays all questions still awaiting a response.
    * **Dismissed**: Lets moderators dismiss questions, moving them instantly to this section. Dismissed questions can be reopened with one click.
    * **Answered**: Questions are automatically moved here after being answered, keeping things organised.

  * **Q\&A default filter**
    * When enabled, participants will see the Q\&A panel open with the selected default filter (Open, All, or Answered).

      <br>

  * **Post-session:** Export Q\&A logs, including upvotes data, in JSON and TXT formats via dashboard and API.
