Introducing Mentions and Comments

Mentions and comments are two powerful features that can help you collaborate and communicate with others on your project. In this article, we'll introduce you to these features and explain how you can use them to improve your workflow.

Features that Support Comments and Mentions

Not all features in our platform support comments and mentions. However, there are a few key areas where you can use these features to enhance your work:

  • You can now add and View comments and mentions on Contact/Company/Generic/Activity/Marketing lists, Key activities, Tasks and Pages

By using comments and mentions in these areas, you can easily communicate with your team members and keep track of important discussions and updates.

Commenting, Editing a Comment and Deleting a Comment

To make a comment, simply click Add a Comment from more options under a List. For Key Activities and Tasks, comments are available on the slider below Task and Activity Details.

Simply click more options on a comment to edit or delete a comment. If a comment is edited, we will indicate the comment as such. If a comment is deleted, we will show that the comment was deleted.
