Comments on notes and items

Comment on an item

1. 01

   Open the item

   Notes, tables, PDFs, images, saved posts, and every other item have comments.

2. 02

   Click Comments

   It's the speech bubble in the top bar. In a note, click ⋯ and choose Comments. The number shows how many threads are still open.

3. 03

   Post

   Press Enter to post. Shift Enter adds a new line.

Hover a thread to Reply or Resolve it. Resolved threads fold into a resolved list at the bottom, where you can Reopen them. You can Edit or delete your own comments.

Comment on part of something

Where	How
A passage	Select text in a note and click Add comment in the toolbar. The text gets a highlight.
A table cell	Right-click the cell and choose Comment. The cell gets a small bubble with a count.
A card on a board	Right-click the card and choose Comment.
A spot on a board	On a freeform board, open + in the bottom toolbar and choose Comment, or press Shift C. Click the canvas to drop a pin.

Click a highlight or a bubble to jump to its thread. Pins can be dragged, and a pin dropped on a card moves with it.

See every comment on a board

Click the speech bubble in the board's bottom-right controls. The panel has three groups:

• This board: general comments and pins. Click Show on board to pan to a pin.
• One group per item: threads on the notes, tables, and files on the board.
• Resolved: closed threads, folded at the bottom.

Let people with a link comment

People you share with can comment without being able to edit.

• A note or table: click Share, then under General access pick Anyone with the link can comment.
• A board: in the board's Share menu, pick Anyone can comment.

Readers must sign in to comment or see comments. A free Eden account is enough, and Sign in to comment brings them back to the page. They can reply, resolve threads they started, and edit or delete their own comments.

When someone outside your workspace comments, workspace owners get one email and phone push about 30 minutes later. It covers every comment left in that window.

To stop taking comments, switch back to view-only or Private. Old comments stay.

What comments don't touch

• They never appear in the item's text, in exports, or in what Eve reads.
• Duplicating a note or board doesn't copy its comments.
