Adding Comments
All users can add comments to tasks, folders, and projects that they have access to unless their access role restricts it.
Note
On Enterprise accounts, the types of users who are allowed to use this functionality may differ due to user type settings.
Comments allow you to leave notes on tasks, folders, and projects, and custom item types. Use comments to ask questions, provide updates, and communicate with colleagues.
You can @mention colleagues in comments to get the attention of a specific person or user group.
