How to manage comments on a board

You can manage comments on your board to keep discussions organized, find relevant feedback, share specific threads, and control which comments are displayed.

Before you start

Make sure you have access to the board where you want to manage comments.

Edit or delete a comment

You can edit or delete comments that you created. You cannot edit or delete comments created by other members. To edit or delete your comment:
  1. Open the comment thread.
  2. Select More actions for your comment.
  3. Select Edit or Delete.

Resolve a comment thread

When feedback has been addressed, you can resolve the comment thread to keep your board organized.
  1. Open the comment thread.
  2. Select Resolve in the top-right corner of the thread.


Resolved comment threads are hidden from the canvas by default. To view them again, open Comment settings and turn on Show resolved comments.

Share a comment

You can copy a link to a specific comment to help others navigate directly to the relevant comment and area on the board. To share a comment:
  1. Open the comment thread.
  2. Select More actions for the comment.
  3. Select Copy link.
  4. Share the copied link with others.

Manage comment display

Open Comment settings from the Comment panel to control which comment threads and markers are shown on the board.


From there, you can:
  1. Show comment markers: Show or hide comment markers on the canvas.
  2. Show resolved threads: Show or hide resolved comment threads.
  3. Filter comments by:
    1. All threads
    2. Unread threads
    3. My threads, mentions, and replies
  4. Mark all as read: Quickly mark all comments on the board as read.

Notes
Your comment display settings affect which comment threads and markers you see on the board. They do not delete the comments.

Manage comment notifications

You can choose which comment activity you receive email notifications for. Open Comment settings from the Comment panel to manage how you receive notifications about comment activity.
For Email notifications, you can choose to receive:
  1. Everything: Get notified about all comment activity on the board.
  2. Mentions, replies, and reactions: Get notified when someone mentions you, replies to your comment, or reacts to your comment.
  3. Nothing: Turn off email notifications for comments.

You can also connect Visily to Slack to receive comment notifications in Slack. See Connect Visily to Slack for setup instructions.

Note

You can also quickly manage individual comments directly from the Comment panel:
  1. Resolve a comment: Hover over a comment and select the Resolve icon next to it.
  2. Open the More actions menu for a comment to:
    1. Copy link to the comment.
    2. Delete the comment. This option is only available for comments you created.
    3. Mark as unread if you have already read the comment.
