Project members can communicate with each other and share ideas by writing in the comments section at the bottom of the task window.

Add comments to exchange ideas, link to attachments, and alert other team members to important information by mentioning them.

 

The Task Activity Feed

By default, the lower part of the task window shows a change log of all updates made to a task, including status updates, checklist updates and comments.
