Comments let you and your collaborators discuss the whiteboard right where the discussion belongs: pinned to a spot on the canvas or to a specific element.
Add a comment#
- Press C, click the Comment button in the left toolbar, or right-click and choose Add Comment
- Click anywhere on the canvas, or on an element, to place a pin
- Write your first message to start the thread
Anyone with Commenter access or higher can comment; see Roles and permissions.
Threads#
Click a pin to open its thread. From there you can:
- Reply, and edit or delete your own messages
- Resolve a thread when it's handled, or reopen it later. Replying to a resolved thread reopens it automatically
- Drag a canvas pin to reposition it. Pins on elements follow the element when it moves
The comments sidebar#
The sidebar on the right collects every thread on the whiteboard:
- Open and Resolved tabs to focus on what still needs attention
- Click a thread card to fly straight to its pin on the canvas
- Unread indicators show where there's new activity since you last looked
- General discussion holds conversation that isn't pinned to anything specific
Comment links#
Every thread can be linked to directly. Opening a comment link takes you to the right whiteboard, switches to the right variant, and opens the thread.
Hide comments while presenting#
Toggle Comments off in View settings to hide the pins. Comments are also excluded from exports and public links automatically.
