Discussions offer a way for team members to exchange ideas without directly editing shared notes. Start a discussion to communicate with others, share feedback and alert other team members of important information by mentioning them.

You can view a note's active discussions by clicking the discussions icon on the right sidebar. Content blocks that include discussions are marked with a yellow icon which displays the number of discussions and comments still open on that block.

You can view all open discussions on a note by clicking the discussions icon on the right sidebar:
