Comment on a task

I want to …

… talk about a task right where it lives, mention teammates, and keep the history next to the work.

Before you start

Comments work on every plan: Free, Pro, and Ultra.
Every workspace member can read and write comments: Owner, Admin, and Member.
A comment can be up to 5,000 characters long.

Here's how

Open the task from its card on the board.
Scroll to the bottom. Comments sits below Linked elements and above Duplicate and Delete.
Type into the field Write a comment…. It starts as one line and grows as you write. Type @ to mention a person, or #, ##, ###, #### to link a topic, tag, task, or note – just like in the description.
Tap the round arrow at the right of the field (Send). On the web, Enter sends too; Shift+Enter starts a new line. The comment appears at the end of the list and the field clears.
To change your own comment, tap the three-dot icon next to it and choose Edit. Change the text and tap the arrow (Save), or tap the close icon (Cancel) to keep the old version.
To remove a comment, tap the three-dot icon, choose Delete, and confirm with Delete.

The result

The comment sits under the task with your avatar, your name, and the time. Everyone in the workspace sees it live. Edited comments show edited next to the time.

Common questions

Who can edit or delete a comment?

Only the author can edit a comment. The author can delete it, and so can an Owner or Admin – for example to clean up. A Member does not see the three-dot icon on other people's comments.

Are comments copied when I duplicate a task?

No. The copy starts without comments.

What happens to comments when the task is deleted?

They are deleted together with the task.
