Comments
Discuss lessons and their cards with your team, like comments in a shared document.
Anyone who can see a lesson — including viewers — can read and write comments on the lesson and its cards. Comments are on the Comments tab of the inspector on the right side of the editor.
- On a card — select the card and open the Comments tab, or click the add comment icon in the toolbar above the selected card. You can comment even while a colleague is editing the lesson.
- On the whole lesson — click an empty spot next to the cards (no card selected) and open the Comments tab. Besides comments on the lesson, it lists the threads of all cards; click a card's name to go to it.
The number of open threads is shown in a speech bubble — black, or yellow when a comment is waiting for your reply. You'll find it next to the Comments tab, in the editor header and next to the card number. When the lesson has open threads, the Comments speech bubble in the editor header shows their number and opens the lesson's comments. A card with open threads shows their number in a speech bubble next to the card number; click it to see them. The editor remembers the tab, so you can go through the cards reading comments.
Write your comment in the field at the bottom and send it with the arrow button or Cmd / Ctrl + Enter. To answer a thread, click Reply below it; Esc closes the reply field, and so does clicking elsewhere while it's still empty.
- @mention a colleague to notify them. You can mention only people who can see the lesson.
- Assign a thread to someone to make them responsible for it.
- Resolve a thread when it's done — click the green check mark next to its first comment. Replying to a resolved thread, or Reopen (the arrow in place of the check mark), opens it again.
- Copy link gives you a direct link to the thread.
Assign to, Copy link, Edit and Delete thread are in the ⋯ menu next to the first comment; replies have their own ⋯ with Edit and Delete.
Only open threads are shown. Turn on Resolved at the right of the tabs to see resolved threads too — they're shown in grey. Threads of deleted cards stay in the lesson's comments. You can edit or delete your own comments. Deleting the first comment deletes the whole thread.
Who gets notified
The author of the lesson is always notified about every comment — you don't need to mention them. Their name has an Author badge in the @mention list. Below the comment field you can see who your comment notifies (for example Unless otherwise specified, Jana Nováková (the lesson author) will be notified automatically., or Notifies Jana Nováková (lesson author) by default and Petr Malý when someone else is notified too); hover over it to see everyone.
A comment concerns you if you can see the lesson, didn't write the comment yourself, and you:
- are the author of the lesson,
- started the thread, are assigned to it or have written in it, or
- were mentioned in it.
You'll see:
- an amber badge with the number of comments waiting for your reaction on the lesson (and on its folder), and a dot next to Lessons in the left menu,
- a notification with a short sound in the bottom right corner when a new comment arrives or someone else resolves a thread you're part of (your browser plays the sound only after you've clicked somewhere on the page),
- an email digest a few minutes after the conversation calms down. It also tells you when someone resolves a thread you're part of. Comments you've already seen in the app or that have been resolved are left out.
The badge disappears when you reply or the thread is resolved — just reading it isn't enough.
Duplicating, translating or copying a lesson doesn't copy its comments.
