Comments on Notes

Discuss individual notes in-line with comments during draft, vote, and discuss.

Last updated April 2026

Comments let participants add context, ask questions, or react in detail to a note without cluttering the board with extra cards. They are available during any active sub-status.

Enabling Comments

The Allow comments on notes retro option is on by default. Turn it off from the Build tab if you would rather keep the board to notes only.

When Comments Are Allowed

Once enabled, participants can comment on any note during Draft, Vote, or Discuss. Each comment is tagged with the author's display name (subject to the Show authors option) and the time it was posted.

Editing and Deleting

  • Authors can edit and delete their own comments via the menu on each comment row
  • Facilitators can edit or delete any comment for moderation

Edits and deletes broadcast immediately to every connected participant.

Where Comments Show

In Draft and Vote, comments appear in a small thread under each note. In Discuss, the comments for the note currently being discussed are pulled into the discussing panel so the team can see them all at once.

Comments are a good place to capture nuance the team agrees on but does not want to turn into a full Action. Reserve Actions for the things that need follow-up; let comments carry the rest of the conversation.
