Adding Comments to an Element

Add comments to an Activity, Milestone or Group

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Planera lets you add comments to any Activity, Group, or Milestone. Adding comments is a great way to capture your thoughts, action items, to-do lists, etc.

You can also tag other users in the comments to get their attention on a specific element.

How to add Comments?

  1. There are two ways to add a comment -

    • From Header: Click on ‘Comment’ then select a group, activity or milestone to add a comment.


    • From the right-click menu: Right-click on a group, activity, or milestone and select ‘Comment’ from the pop-up.


  2. Once the comment box opens up, type out the comment and press Enter.



    Note: If you want to address the comment to a project collaborator, use the '@' followed by the collaborator's user name (@username) and then type out the comment and hit Send or Press Enter. This will send an email notification to the collaborator as well.


  3. If there's an existing thread, click the chat bubble with a plus icon to start a new one for the selected element.
