Post a comment

You can chat, discuss and share what you have accomplished in the comments of a task in the detail panel.

It’s your instant messenger built right in Quire! Simply click Add comment in the detail panel and start chatting.

When you leave a comment on a task, you will automatically become the follower of that task, meaning when other members modify the task’s due date or leave other comments, etc. You will get notifications as well.

Members who are already the assignees of this task or followers of this task or its project will get notified automatically of any updates too.

Tip: To post comments in the selected task, press C. To quickly check whether tasks have comments without opening the detail panel, toggle on the Advanced mode by pressing I (or ⌥ for Mac).

Style your comments

The comment area supports markdown to give more styles to your text. You could click on the Markdown icon to get a simple cheat sheet of Markdown.

To preview what you have just typed, press Ctrl + E or ⌘ + E for Mac.

When typing your comments using markdown, you can also embed formulas to generate new information based on the data that you have input into your task.

To embed a formula in the comment area, you will need to put the formula between double curly brackets {{ and }}.

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.
