Task Comments: Adding, Replying & Attaching Files

Comments are the running conversation on a task: questions, updates, and context visible to everyone with access to it.

Adding a Comment

To add a comment:

1. Open the task and go to its Comments section.
2. Type your comment.
3. Optionally attach a file to the comment.
4. Post it.

Replying to a Comment

Replying keeps a specific thread of conversation together, instead of a discussion turning into a long list of loosely related top-level comments.

To reply to a comment:

1. Open the task’s Comments section.
2. Find the comment you want to respond to.
3. Click Reply on that comment, rather than posting a new top-level comment.
4. Type your response and post it it appears nested under the original comment.

Attaching a File to a Comment

If a comment needs supporting context, such as a screenshot or a document, you can attach a file directly to it instead of uploading separately to the task’s Files section.

To attach a file to a comment:

1. Open the task’s Comments section and start writing your comment (or a reply).
2. Use the attachment option to select a file from your device.
3. Post the comment; the file appears attached to it.

Good to know:

• Comments can be edited after posting; edited comments are marked as such.
• Keeping related back-and-forth as replies makes the conversation much easier to follow later, especially on tasks with a lot of comments.
• Files attached to comments still count against your organization’s storage.
