# Ask your staff to respond

Are you working with multiple teachers and moderators in a single course or Group?

In the Inbox, you can see at a glance which fellow staff members have already shared private feedback with a learner using the [Discuss feature](../../teach-a-course/staying-on-track/use-inbox-to-give-timely-feedback-all-in-one-place.help.md), as well as the total number of responses. Reviewers who have not responded will have their avatars greyed out, and reviewers who have responded will have their avatars circled in red:

## To ask a fellow staff member to respond:

Hover over the grouped reviewers list to pull up a tooltip listing all reviewers with their response counts. From there, tap the airplane icon to send an instant notification to your colleague:

You can also select "ask to respond" under additional actions on a learner's discussion question or post:

The notification message will include a link to the discussion and will indicate that you have asked this teammate to respond.
