Comments

Comments let people discuss a model, knowledge base, prompt, skill, tool, note or chat right next to it. An admin turns them on with Comments in Admin Settings > General or with the ENABLE_COMMENTS environment variable. They are off by default.

Who Can Comment​

Anyone who can read an item can read its comments and add their own. Comments on a note also need the notes feature. A temporary chat has no comments. A model that comes straight from a connection and has never been saved with its own settings can only be commented on by admins.

Where to Find Them​

  • Chats: the Comments tab in the chat controls panel, or Comments in the chat's menu in the top bar.
  • Notes: Comments in the note's More (...) menu opens them beside the note.
  • Models: Comments in a model's menu in the model picker.
  • Workspace: Comments in an item's menu, a side panel on the item's page and in the model editor, and a comment count in each list.

Writing Comments​

Reply to a comment, react to it with an emoji or @mention someone. The mention list only offers people who can see the item.

To comment on a specific passage, select it in a chat message or a note page and click Comment. The passage stays highlighted, and hovering it previews its comments. If the text changed meanwhile, select the passage again.

You can edit your own comments. A comment can be deleted by its author, the item's owner or an admin.

Deleting an item deletes its comments. When a user account is deleted, its comments keep their text and lose their author.
