Summary

Comments keep the conversation about a piece of work on the task itself. Everyone who opens the task sees the discussion in order, next to the assignee, due date, and project details.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Step 1

    Open the task

    Click the task's name in **My tasks** on your Home page, or in any project list. The task opens in a details pane showing its assignee, due date, and projects.

  2. Step 2

    Click the comment box

    Scroll to the bottom of the task details and click **Add a comment or @mention a teammate** to start writing.

  3. Step 3

    Write your comment

    Type your message in the box. Type @ followed by a name to mention a teammate so they get notified about your comment.

  4. Step 4

    Post the comment

    Click the **Comment** arrow at the bottom right of the box. The button stays greyed out until you have typed something.

  5. Step 5

    Check your comment in the task

    Your comment now shows under **Comments**, with your name and how long ago it was posted, below the task's earlier activity.

Why this matters

You have reviewed a teammate's deliverable and need to send feedback without losing it in chat. A comment on the task keeps your note next to the work, notifies anyone you mention, and leaves a record the whole team can follow later.
