Can I Provide Instructions When Collaborating?

We understand that providing context is extremely important when collaborating with your team. You will be able to provide a comment on any Project Entry from directly within a Project.

To add a comment when assigning a Question:

  1. From within your Project, click Assign on the Project Entry
  2. Click the newly visible gear icon

If you would like to add a comment without assigning the Project Entry, you can click directly on the comment icon to expand the comment section.

Can I Tag Other Users in a Project in Project Comments?

Yes, you can tag other Users in Project Comments, as long as they have permissions set to view the Entry. 

This helps your collaborators focus on comments that require their attention.

To tag a User in a comment:

  1. Click on the Comments bubble to add a comment
  2. Type the @ symbol anywhere within the comment field of the Entry where you would like that User to be tagged. This will display a list of Participants for this Project

  3. Select a User, and press Enter on your keyboard

From your team member’s perspective, a notification email will be sent after 15 minutes, letting them know they have been mentioned in comment(s).

Upon clicking on the notification, the User will be brought to the Project Entry that contains the mention. The Comment bubble will display a number for the number of unread mentions the User has for this Entry.

Once the comment bubble has been clicked, the number will become a dot. This indicates that the Entry contains comments, but no unread mentions.
