Todo Comments

Every todo has a Comments tab where project members can discuss the work, ask questions, share updates, or leave notes for whoever picks up the task next. Comments are threaded, timestamped, and persist even after a todo is completed or canceled.

At a glance

  • ✓Threaded comments on every todo, visible to all project members
  • ✓@mention a teammate to send them an in-app notification
  • ✓Comments survive todo completion — the history is always there
  • ✓All project members can read and write comments

Opening the comments tab

  1. 1

    Open the todo detail

    Click the todo title to open the full detail view. On mobile, this opens as a bottom sheet.

  2. 2

    Switch to the Comments tab

    Select the "Comments" tab inside the detail view. Any existing comments are shown in chronological order, oldest first.

  3. 3

    Write a comment

    Click the text input at the bottom of the comment list and type your message. Press Enter to send, or Shift+Enter to add a new line.

@Mentioning a teammate

Type @ inside the comment box to open the mention autocomplete. Start typing a name and select a teammate from the dropdown. They will receive an in-app notification linking directly to the comment thread. You can @mention multiple people in one comment.

💡 Tip

Use @mentions when you need a specific person to respond. For updates that everyone on the project should see, post on the project Message Board instead — it reaches all members at once.

Replying to a comment

Click the Reply button under any comment to start a threaded reply. Replies are indented under the original comment to keep conversations organised. The original commenter is notified of any replies.

Editing and deleting comments

You can edit or delete your own comments at any time. Hover a comment and click the three-dot menu (…) to see the options. Workspace admins can delete any comment. Deleted comments show a "This comment was removed" placeholder so the thread continuity is not broken.

ℹ️ Note

Comments are not deleted when a todo is completed or canceled. If you archive a project, its todo comments are preserved and accessible if the project is ever unarchived.

Notification behaviour

  • You are notified when someone @mentions you in a comment.
  • If you are a watcher on a todo, you are notified of all new comments on that todo.
  • The todo's assignee is always notified of new comments.
  • The todo's creator is notified of the first comment if they are not the assignee.
