Add Comments to a Wiki Page

Only project members can add comments to a private project. In a shared project, however, any user in organization can add comments.

This is how to add general or block comments to a wiki page:

Action How To

Add a generic comment

  1. Open the wiki page.

  2. Scroll down to the Comments section. In the Write tab, enter your comment, and click Comment.

    You can use the project’s wiki markup language to format your comment.

The comment appears in a conversation box along with icons to Reply Reply, Edit Edit, and Delete Delete.

You can’t edit comments entered by other users. You can’t delete a parent comment if there are any child comments, or delete comments entered by other users.

Add a block comment

A block comment is a comment that you add to a content block, such as a paragraph or a table.

  1. Open the wiki page.

  2. Move the mouse pointer to the right edge of the block, and click Add Comment the Comment icon.

    If you see a number on the right edge of the block, it indicates the number of existing comments of the block. Click the number to view the comments and then click Leave a comment.

  3. In the popup, add your comment, and click Post.

When you add a block comment, a watch is set on the wiki page and you automatically get email notifications of future comments and updates.

To hide the comment, click the comment number or Hide the close icon. To edit or delete the comment, click the number and then click Edit or Delete.

If you edit, format, or move a content block, its comments move automatically. If you remove a content block, its comments are deleted too and can’t be restored. If you merge a block with another, the comments of the source block will be hidden, but the comments of the target block remain visible. When you the split the source block from the target block and move it back its original position, the hidden comments reappear.
