Comments and @mentions are a great way for your team to communicate and alert others of issues. Learn about issue reporting here.
Members can comment and @mention each other and discuss things on any task. Guests can also comment on tasks which have been assigned them.

Commenting
To comment on the task, click on a task card to open it. You can type '@' and any member's name to direct a message at them. You can also upload files, insert images, add links, videos, etc. in a comment. Comments can also be edited and deleted by the member who created them.

What happens when a guest comments on a task?
Guests can comment and also report issue on their tasks. The member assigned to the guest task also receives a notification for this.
Important note about guest visibility toggles
You can set a comment to be visible to a guest or not via the "Visibility" toggle - it defaults to invisible to guests
Important note about @mentioning someone who does not have process access
When you @mention someone in a comment who does not currently have any visibility of that task and process - you automatically provide them visibility via the @mention. Therefore, be careful mentioning someone outside the process in a comment, if they are not supposed to have access to it.
