Introduction

All participants in a room can add comments to files and entries. Own comments may be removed or modified. Comments are visible to all room members. A number in the speech bubble column indicates the number of comments added to a file or an entry. By clicking the number, the Activities and Comments pane is opened.

Note: Observers cannot create comments.

Mentions: Notify a person or a group

You can use mentions in comments by typing the @ character and start typing a user's name in order to  notify room members. All selected members will receive an e-mail from Interaxo Project showing the comment and a link to the file/entry..

If you mention a group, all the members of that group will receive an email.

Benefits of using mentions in comments instead of the Share function 

By using comments with mentions instead of sharing an item, the message is saved and logged together with the content and a time stamp and with whom you shared it. This in comparison to the Share button where the message is NOT saved, only the time stamp and with whom you shared it.
