 The GRM portal offers three modes to allow correspondence between officers and PAPs (Project-affected persons): the **Journal, Internal Message Thread, and External Message Thread**.
-The **Journal** allows you or any officer to add additional information or notes regarding the grievance, separate from the grievance description. It is useful for keeping a log of the progress made when seeking a solution to the grievance. Anyone with roles that allow access to the grievance will be able to both post and see Journal entries.

-The **External Message Thread**, though similar to the previous modes, serves as a module to communicate with and inform PAPs on the progress of the grievance. As with the previous modes, anyone with roles that allow access to the grievance will be able to both post and see correspondences in the EMT. All posted entries in this mode can be seen by the PAP. They only need to submit their ticket ID to the Grievance Followup page in the website. The website will then show posts to the PAP. They can also create posts of their own as responses or followups to the grievance.

+=== Insert Table ===
+{{::grievanceedit_editor4.png?nolink|}}
+You can insert a table by clicking on the Table button, then choosing the column x row layout you need by hovering over your preferred quantity of horizontal and vertical cells.
+You can keep hovering to the right for more columns, or to the bottom for more rows, up to a maximum of 10 for both directions.
+You cannot add rows or columns to a table you've already created, however you can create tables within a cell.
+\\
+\\
+=== Additional Controls ===
+{{::grievanceedit_editor5.png?nolink|}}
+**Link** \\
+The Link button (chain icon) is helpful for when you need to refer your users or co-officers to an external website or webpage. Select your text, click on the "Link" button, and a popup should appear. You can also use Ctrl+K as a shortcut.
+{{::grievanceedit_editor5_href.png?nolink&400|}}
+The popup will prompt for a "Text to Display". This is the text you selected which you want users/co-officers to click on. You are free to change this text. "To what url should this link go?" is where you should enter the URL of the website/webpage you want to take them to. The "Open in a new window" ensures that when they click on your link, it will open a new browser tab/window instead of changing the current tab/window. Click on the "Insert Link" button to apply the link to your selected text.
+Once the link has been applied, you can click on the text you selected to change the link if you want (via the edit button, icon is a pencil over paper), or remove the link (via the Unlink button, icon looks like a broken chain).
+\\
+\\
+**Picture** \\
+Apart from being able to attach a picture, you can also embed a picture right into your message by clicking on the Picture button. This opens a popup where you should choose between:
+  * "Select from files" - Browse the image you want to embed to the message
+  * "Image URL" - type or paste the link of an image on an external website, e.g. "https://sample-il.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/sample-logo.png"
+Once you click on "Insert Image", the image you chose will appear after your cursor's location. You can delete on the embedded image by clicking on it and hitting "Delete" on your keyboard.
+\\
+\\
+**Horizontal Rule** \\
+If you want to make section dividers, click on the Horizontal Rule button. You can also use Ctrl+Enter as a shortcut.
+\\
+\\
+=== Attachments ===
+{{::grievanceedit_attach.png?nolink|}}
+The Attachments widget allows you to attach one or more files of any type onto your message. Once a file is attached and the message is submitted, the files will be downloadable for users and/or co-officers. Click on the "Browse..." button, select your file, click OK and it will start uploading.
+You can add files by clicking on the "Add More" button, which adds a new upload field where you can browse your next file to upload.
+You can also remove any of the uploaded files before you submit the message by clicking on the "Clear" button.
 \\
 \\
+=== Submitting the Message ===
+Once you've composed your message and added any attachments as necessary, click on the "Submit" button at the bottom. Your message will then be posted and will be visible to the relevant audience.
