In personal blogs or basic content publishing sites, the process of publishing a post is straightforward. The author directly publishes the post in many cases, while a user with the necessary post-editing permission reviews and approves the post in other cases.

In large-scale content publishing platforms, a post goes through several people such as language editors, technical editors, and people who format the content. So, an author needs the ability to communicate with all of these editors and reviewers. The default WordPress post features don't have functions for adding a section for discussion between authors and editors.

In this recipe, we are going to use a free plugin to add a new section to the post-editing screen and let several people communicate with each other through comments inside the post-editing screen.
