Has it been discussed before vs Has it been discussed

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Has it been discussed before?' is used when referring to a specific previous discussion, while 'Has it been discussed?' is more general and does not specify a particular time frame. The choice between the two depends on the context and the level of specificity needed.
