# Comments

> Start discussions in records, @mention teammates, and add context to specific data.

Comments belong to specific records. Team members can discuss issues, add materials, explain why a change was made, and keep context with the data instead of spreading it across chat tools.

## Use Comments

### Open Comments

Open any record detail card, then click the **Comments** icon in the top-right corner to open the side comment panel.

You can also right-click a record in the table view and select **Add comment**.

### Send Comments

Enter content in the comment box and send it. Comments support images and pasted links, which are useful for adding screenshots, references, or external context.

### Mention Teammates

Type `@`, then choose a teammate from the dropdown. The mentioned member receives a notification and can jump directly to the related record.

### Reply and React

| Action | Description                                                                   |
| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Reply  | Click **Reply** below a comment to continue the discussion under that comment |
| React  | Click the emoji icon next to a comment to respond quickly                     |
| Edit   | Hover over a comment you sent, then click the action button to edit it        |
| Delete | Hover over a comment you sent, then click the action button to delete it      |

Edited comments display an "edited" label.

## Notifications and Subscriptions

By default, notifications are sent only when:

* Someone `@` mentions you.
* Someone replies to your comment.

If you want to follow a record closely, click the bell icon in the top-right corner of the comment panel and switch to notifications for all comments.

New comment notifications usually appear in the notification center at the bottom-left corner of the interface. Clicking a notification opens the related record and locates the relevant comment.

## Common Scenarios

* **Task clarification**: @mention a teammate under a requirement or task record to confirm details, with the discussion preserved in the record.
* **Approval feedback**: Leave revision feedback under reimbursement, contract, or content review records so the requester can act on it directly.
* **Change notes**: Add a reason after changing important fields so the context is available later.
