Task comments keep conversations connected to the work they are about. Instead of moving details into separate chat threads, add updates, questions, and decisions directly inside the task.
Add a comment
- Open the task details panel. If you are new to tasks, start with Creating & Assigning Tasks.
- Scroll to the Comments section.
- Type your message in the comment box.
- Click Post Comment.
Comments must contain text and can be up to 5,000 characters long.
Delete a comment
You can delete comments you created. Users with edit access to the task can also remove comments when project cleanup is needed. For access rules, see Project Roles: Leader, Editor, Viewer.
When emails are sent
- Task assigned: The assignee receives an email when a task is assigned to them.
- Task updated: The assignee can be notified when important task fields change.
- New comment: The assignee can be notified when someone adds a comment to the task.
- Due date reminder: Timequip can send reminders for tasks that are approaching their due date.
Best practices
- Use comments for decisions, blockers, and handoff notes.
- Keep task titles and descriptions focused, then use comments for ongoing discussion.
- Update the task status after a comment changes the next action.
