Effective Commenting

Make the most of comments with these best practices:

  • Be specific - Reference specific details or requirements in your comments.
  • Use mentions - Tag relevant team members so they're notified.
  • Provide context - Include links, screenshots, or explanations when needed.
  • Keep it relevant - Comments should relate to the card's task.
  • Use reactions for simple responses - A 👍 is quicker than typing "sounds good."
  • Update status - Use comments to communicate progress or blockers.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Add file attachments directly through comments for quick sharing
  • Use comments for decisions so there's a record of why choices were made
  • Check the activity feed to catch up on what's happened while you were away
