Take back time spent hunting for the information you need. With task and project comments you can add notes, upload any file, and even discuss details with your coworkers. Everything stays neatly organized right inside your tasks and projects so you can get right to work.
Add comments and files to tasks
- Hover over a task and click the speech bubble icon that appears to the right of the task name.
- Type a comment into the comment field.
- Click any of the following:
- Paperclip icon: attach a file. See all the supported file types.
- Microphone icon: record an audio comment.
- Emoji icon: add an emoji.
- Tag someone to notify them about your comment, if needed.
- Click Comment to save it.
Comments are always listed chronologically in the task. You can't manually change their order.
Add comments and files to projects
Project comments are attached to the whole project rather than a single task. They keep any high-level project information or files organized and in one place. If you're working in shared projects, project comments are handy for keeping everyone on the same page.
- Click the project in the sidebar.
- Click the comment icon at the top-right.
- Enter your comment or click the paper clip icon to attach a file.
- Click Comment to save it.
Comments are always listed chronologically in the project. You can't manually change their order.
Notify someone about a comment
There will be times when you write a comment and want to make sure your teammate sees it. In those cases, you can notify them.
Note
To notify someone about a task comment in a personal project, you’ll need to first share the project. To notify someone in a team project, make sure the person is part of your team.
If you're posting the first task comment without notifying a specific person, the task creator, assignee, and assignor will receive a notification about the comment.
If there's at least one comment in the task, the people who're initially notified will receive any other comment added to the task.
If you need to notify someone specific, or everyone in the project, these are the steps:
- Start a new task comment or project comment in a shared project.
- If you would like to tag the other person directly:
- Enter @ in the comment field and start typing out their name.
- You will see a list of names matching what you're typing. Once you see the person you want to tag, click their name.
- If you would simply like to notify them without tagging them directly, do the following:
- Click the field next to Notify.
- Select the users you’d like to notify by clicking their names (or click Everyone if you wish to notify everyone in the project).
- When you post the comment, the selected people will receive the comment in their notifications.
Delete a comment or file
Warning
You can only delete your comments in a task. If you need to remove someone else's comments, ask the author to delete them. If the author is no longer a member of the project, duplicate the task to remove all comments.
