Is there any expiry on comments? Either because they become too many, or they get resolved, or just sit there fore too long? Just looking for some reassurance before I commit to using comments to track important information over years.

Can’t give a definitive answer, but I’ve never seen a comment disappear without being resolved. That said, I have a bias toward putting important information into rows themselves to try to make them more searchable, discoverable, formattable, and formula accessible. Open to hearing otherwise on that…

Dear @Ben_Lee , Do you know if there is a way to “import” these comments and support data like “created by/on” in the main section of the doc? This would be useful when evaluating staff on their input/activities :thinking:

We don’t have that ability currently, but it’s been an idea that we’ve looked into. It’s not a scheduled project, but one of those that might get picked up at some point.

Actually, for the very reasons that you mentioned, at first I tried building system for making comments/notes that would automatically record the person who made the comment as well as the time the comment was made, but it became a little bit over-complicated, and I realized that the built-in commen…

With this behaviour, I cannot understand which ones require attention without opening them or looking further. If I solve something, I want it out of the way, so I expect a solved commen…

I think this behaviour has been fixed on the latest update. I am now able to completely hide done comments.

The comments still need to be finalized. [image] warning Improved Notification Management & Comments V2 Suggestion Box Hi everyone, I design workspaces in Coda for businesses from different niches. In all my work, the notification and comment system in Coda is one of the b…

Hi @Ryan_Martens,

You’re good to use comments. You have to deliberately delete them for them to go away. If you use “Resolve” instead, they are still available to view and just marked as hidden.
