@mentionsto notify members, react with emoji, and resolve threads when done. Comments appear in the activity feed and trigger automations via the Comment Added trigger.

Use Markdown in Comments
You can use Markdown syntax to communicate with your team in comments. Add the following Markdown syntax to your text to apply Markdown in a comment:
- Block quote — > text
- Code block —
code - Ordered list — 1. Item
- Unordered list — +, *, -
💡 Note: Visit Markdown Support to learn more about using Markdown.
Attach Screencast Videos
You can record your screen with the Screencast feature and attach the video recordings directly to project comments. Here's how it works.

Tips
- Use comments for asynchronous feedback — they stay attached to the specific task, so context is never lost.
- Combine comments with task assignments to request action from a specific team member.
