Comment on items

Comments are important for communicating with your workspace members. Comment on their items to let them know what you think.

  • In the Feed View, you can comment on an item without opening it

  • In all view types, you can click on an item to view it entirely. Then, scroll down and comment on it.

  • Your comment will be shared with anyone who has access to this item

  • If someone commented on your item, you will be notified about it:

    • In the platform’s notifications center

    • By email (only if your email notifications are on)

  • Each item has a counter so you can easily know how many comments the item has

  • In the advanced search filters, you can filter the homepage so you’ll only see commented items.
