Comments are an excellent way to engage your colleagues in a discussion about a certain topic that you may need clarification for. They enable you to provide feedback on the content, share valuable insights, ask questions, and foster collaboration and teamwork.

Additionally, you can use comments to create notes for yourself as you're going through your documentation.

## How does it work?

Unresolved comments are marked in light yellow. Click the highlighted text to open the comment box in the right sidebar. The comment box provides the following options:

1. Continue thread - type your answer and hit the "Reply" button
2. Resolve comments (click the ✔️ button in the upper right of the comment box)
3. Delete comments/thread (click the `🗑️` button in the upper right of the comment box)

❗If you delete the comment thread, you will delete all the conversation as well

Reopen a closed comment/thread by clicking the **UNDO** icon on the upper right of the comment box

A closed/resolved comment thread is highlighted in grey. When a comment thread is resolved, it will still keep history in that thread, until deleted. The text will stay highlighted in grey until the thread is deleted.
