How does commenting on records work?

 

There are 2 options to access record comments :

  1. Click on the ▼dropdown icon on the record header and choose Expand Record or  Add Comments.
  2. Click on the expand icon on the record header, which opens up the expanded view of the record. At the right top, click on Comments > Add comments

   


In an expanded record, upon clicking Add comments, you can type your message in the text field.



@Mention a collaborator by typing the @ symbol on the text field which will let you tag a collaborator who has access to the base. Only the names of the collaborators with access to the base will be displayed to be selected. Be sure the person has access to the base before mentioning them in a comment.

 

You can tag as many collaborators as you like to the same message.
