Action reactions give everyone in the room a quick way to weigh in on whether a proposed Action should land - without needing to interrupt the conversation.
How It Works
While the Retrospective is in the Discuss sub-status, every Action under the note being discussed shows two buttons: Agree and Disagree. Tapping one records your reaction; tapping the other replaces it. You can also tap the same button again to clear your reaction.
Each participant can cast one reaction per Action. Behind the scenes the server upserts on (action_id, author_token), so accidental double-clicks do not create duplicate reactions.
When You Can React
- Action reactions are only available during the Discuss sub-status
- Reactions are not available in Draft or Vote; they fit alongside the Action discussion specifically
- Reactions are not available on completed retros
Where Counts Show
Each Action shows the agree count and the disagree count next to its title. Hovering over a count reveals the participant display names behind it (subject to the Show authors option).
