Add comments to your notes to communicate with your team members and share feedback on your organization's documentation.
What are Comments?
Comments offer a way for team members to exchange ideas without directly editing shared documentation. Use comments to communicate with others, share feedback and alert other team members to important information by mentioning them.
Content blocks which include comments are marked with an icon in the right sidebar which shows the number of comments/threads currently active on this block. Click this icon to toggle between showing/hiding comments.
Discussions and Threads
If you and your teammates post multiple comments to a single content block, they will be organized into discussion threads. See below to learn more about showing/hiding discussions in your notes.
Show/Hide Comments
Content blocks which include comments are marked with an icon on the right-hand side of the block. You can show or hide comments and discussions by clicking this icon.
Tip
The number next to the comments icon shows the number of open discussions on this content block. Click on any discussion thread to see all replies.

Reply to Team Members' Comments and Start Discussions

The entire comment thread is now permanently deleted from your note.
