Comments
Comments are threaded notes pinned to the canvas. Use them to ask why a step is built the way it is, flag something to a colleague, or leave yourself a note that survives closing the tab.
Leaving one
Press C and click where the comment belongs. What you click decides what it is pinned to:
| Pin it to | By | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| A step | Clicking the step | A question about that step’s configuration |
| A point | Clicking empty canvas | A note about the area around it |
| A region | Dragging a box across part of the canvas | A remark about a branch or a group of steps taken together |
A pinned comment stays with what it is pinned to, so a step you move takes its comments along.
The comments list
Open Comments from the More (⋮) menu to see every thread on this canvas rather than hunting for pins. Four controls shape the list:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Show resolved | Includes threads somebody has closed. Off by default. |
| Unread first | Puts threads with new replies at the top. |
| Only mine | Narrows to threads you started or replied to. |
| Show pins on canvas | Hides the pins without closing the list. |
Shift+C toggles the pins on their own, for a screenshot or a screen share where the canvas should read clean.
Replying and resolving
Anyone in the workspace can reply to a thread. A thread is marked read for you once you have opened it, which is what Unread first sorts on.
Resolve a thread when the work it asked for is done. It leaves the default list and stays findable under Show resolved, so the reasoning is kept rather than deleted.
Who can change what
| Action | Who |
|---|---|
| Reply | Anyone in the workspace |
| Edit a message | Whoever wrote that message |
| Delete a message | Whoever wrote that message |
| Resolve or delete a thread | Whoever started it, or a workspace Admin |
Editing is per message, not per thread: you can always correct your own reply, and never somebody else’s.
Examples to copy
Ask about a step without breaking the flow. Press C, click the step, and write the question. The next person to open the canvas sees the pin on the step it is about, rather than a message somewhere else describing which step you meant.
Review a branch. Drag a region across the branch and comment once on the whole thing. A point comment beside it would not say which steps you meant.
Clear a canvas for a demo. Shift+C hides every pin. The threads are still there afterwards.
