Comments

Easily communicate, share progress, and collaborate on tasks using the comment feature in the task detail panel.

Post a comment

To get started, click Add comment in the detail panel and begin the discussion. Think of it as your built-in instant messenger within Quire, keeping conversations relevant and organized.

When you leave a comment on a task, you automatically become a follower of that task. This means you’ll receive notifications for any updates, such as due date changes or additional comments.

Task assignees, existing followers, and project members linked to the task will also be notified of updates, ensuring everyone stays informed and aligned.

Tip: To quickly add comments to a selected task, press C. To identify tasks with comments without opening the detail panel, toggle on Advanced Mode by pressing I for Windows or ⌥ on Mac.

Style your comments

Highlight any text in your comment area to access a menu of formatting options. These options allow you to style your text, such as changing its color, adding hyperlinks, and more.

Use slash commands

Using the slash command / opens a menu of various commands you can include in your comment. These options range from different heading styles and tables to checklists, mentions of team members, or references to tasks within your project.

As you type after the slash command /, the menu options will filter based on your input. You can navigate through the narrowed down list using the up and down arrow keys.

Edit a Comment

To edit a comment, click the More Options icon in the upper right corner of the comment and select Edit.

Or you can use the up arrow key while your cursor is in the Add comment area.

Note: Only members with specific permissions can edit comments within the project. Guest members are limited to adding new comments and cannot edit comments made by others.

React to comments

Hover over a comment and click on the emoji icon at the upper right corner. You can add as many emojis as you want. If you want to react with the same emoji as other members already have, just click directly on the emoji that was added at the bottom.

Hover over the emoji to see who has reacted to the comment. You will also receive a notification when another member reacts to your comment.
