Comments have been updated to facilitate better discussions and seamless integration into email. Some of the features include:
- Improvements to the discussion flow by adding ownership and edit rights to individual comments. Each comment now has a timestamp and profile picture.
- No need to delete comments. You can resolve comments to remove them from the visible document and view them later by clicking the discussions button at the top of any document.
- Integration of comments with your inbox to facilitate more rapid and responsive communication. You can now add someone to a discussion with an @mention. For example, typing ‘@eddy@altostrat.com’ in a discussion will send a notification email to Eddy with the text of your comment.
- Eddy can open the document from the email, or reply via email and the reply will show up in the comment as soon as the email is sent.
