Comments on a task let you discuss the work without bouncing to email or Slack. The conversation stays attached to the task, so when someone picks up the work weeks later, the context is right there.
What this page helps you do
Leave a comment on a task.
@-mention a teammate to get their attention.
Edit, delete, or react to existing comments.
Manage what you get notified about.
Leave a comment
Open a task. Scroll to the Comments section at the bottom of the editor.
Click in the comment box and type. The editor supports basic formatting (bold, italic, lists, links) and you can attach files or images by dragging them into the comment.
Click Comment to post.
Comments appear in chronological order (oldest at top, newest at bottom). Each shows the author and timestamp.
@-mention a teammate
Type @ followed by a name. A picker appears with team members; pick the person you want.
When you post, the mentioned person:
Gets an in-app notification (the bell in the top bar).
Gets an email (if their notification settings include @-mentions).
Sees the task in their All Tasks view filtered to "Mentioned me".
Use mentions for the person you actually want a response from. Mentioning the whole team in every comment trains people to ignore mentions, which is the opposite of what you want.
Edit or delete
Hover over your own comment (or open the โฏ menu) to:
Edit: change the text. The comment shows an "edited" marker so others know it changed.
Delete: remove the comment. There's no undo.
You can only edit and delete your own comments. Owners and Admins can moderate by deleting any comment.
React to a comment
Click the smiley/reaction icon on a comment to add an emoji reaction (๐, โค๏ธ, ๐, etc.). Multiple people can react with the same emoji and counts roll up.
Use reactions for "got it / thumbs up / agreed" so you don't bury the conversation in single-word replies.
Threading
Comments are flat, there's no reply-to-a-specific-comment threading. To quote a previous message, copy a snippet of it into your comment manually, or use a clear @-mention to address someone specifically.
Attachments
Drag a file or image into the comment box, or paste an image from your clipboard. The file is uploaded and embedded inline.
Attachments are useful for:
Marked-up screenshots showing what to fix.
Reference images for a design decision.
A short video clip of a playtest moment.
Attachments live with the comment, not with the parent task, they're not in the task's Attachments section unless you upload there too.
Notifications about comments
You'll get notified about a comment when:
You're @-mentioned in it.
You're an assignee on the task and someone comments on it.
You wrote the parent task (you're considered subscribed by default).
You explicitly subscribed to the task by clicking "Watch" or similar.
Tweak which of these reach you via in-app, email, or both in Notifications and preferences.
Tips & common questions
My comment didn't post. Check the comment box for an error or warning. If you typed an @-mention but the picker never opened, the picker may need a click to engage; click in the comment box first, then type @.
Can people outside my team read comments? No. Comments are part of the task, which is part of the project, which is inside your team workspace. Only people with access to that project see comments.
Can I export the comment history on a task? Not directly. The comment history persists with the task; you can copy and paste from the editor if you need to take it elsewhere.
Why did a comment from a teammate show as "deleted"? They (or an Admin) deleted it. The placeholder remains so the conversation context isn't broken; the content is gone.
Can I @-mention someone outside my team? No, only members of the team workspace can be mentioned. For external people, leave a normal comment with their name written out and email them the task link separately.
