Comments and discussions

Ask a collaborator to double-check a figure in a Project brief without editing the brief itself: anchor a comment to that paragraph, mention them, and resolve the thread once it’s settled.

Comment on a block

1. Point at the block. A Comment button appears in the margin.
2. Select it, or open the block’s action menu and choose Comment (Ctrl+Shift+M).
3. Type your comment and press Ctrl+Enter, or select Send.

Blocks with open threads show a count in the margin. Select it to open the thread. You can’t anchor a comment to an empty block.

Objects whose Type has no body, such as a Person, have a Comments section on the page instead. Add comments there with Add a comment….

Reply, mention, and react

In an open thread:

• type in Reply… to answer;
• type @ or choose Mention to mention someone the Object is shared with; and
• choose Add reaction to react with an emoji.

Manage a thread

• Resolve closes a thread and Reopen brings it back. Resolving keeps the history.
• The More actions menu on a comment offers Mark as read or Mark as unread, Edit, Copy link, Mute replies or Unmute replies, and Delete.

Which actions you see depends on your role. A reader in a shared workspace can read threads but not add to them.

Caution

Delete removes the comment text for everyone and can’t be undone. Resolve a thread instead if you only want it out of the way.

Review every thread in Discussions

Open Discussions from the sidebar or the command palette (Open Discussions). It groups threads by Object, shows the open and resolved counts, and previews a few comments from each. Use show resolved to include finished threads. Select an Object to open it.

To bring collaborators into a thread, first share the Object with them. See Sharing.
