Best Practices

• •Be specific: Reference what you're discussing
• •Use formatting: Bold key points, use code blocks for technical details
• •Keep it professional: Comments are visible to all members
• •Use for discussion: Not for task updates (use status/fields instead)

Activity vs Comments

• •Comments: Discussion and collaboration
• •Activity Log: Automatic tracking of all task changes

Switch to the History tab to see the activity log, or the Links tab to see all shared URLs.
