Show Integrity Activity with a synthetic comment, reply count, and emoji reactions. Keep private information out of the example.
Overview
Comments keep discussion with the Issue. Comment permission is separate from editing permission: it depends on current Issue access, the Team's comment policy, and whether the Issue is active.
Public Teams default to allowing anyone with Issue access to comment. Private Teams default to Team members and the original reporter. A Team settings manager can change that policy.
Post a comment
- Open the Issue's Activity area.
- Write in the comment composer.
- Use the submit control to post it.
If posting fails, the draft stays in the composer. You can mention eligible people and accessible Issues, Features, and Initiatives. Readers without access to a mentioned private object see Restricted item.
Comment file attachments and invoking an agent by mentioning it are (coming soon).
Edit or manage a comment
Open the comment's … menu. Authors can edit or delete their own comments; authorized moderators can delete or restore comments when policy permits. History records changes. Deleting a parent comment leaves a placeholder so its replies remain understandable.
Creating an Issue directly from a comment is (coming soon).
Threads
- Open the replies beneath a comment.
- Write and submit your reply there.
- Follow the thread if you want its updates separately from the whole Issue.
Image placeholder: Threaded replies
Show an expanded Integrity comment thread with two synthetic replies, its reply composer, and thread controls.
Resolve threads
Resolve a finished discussion from its controls. Resolved threads remain in history and can be reopened when needed.
Summaries (coming soon)
Automatic discussion summaries are not available. Add a short comment recording the decision instead.

Future illustration (coming soon). Show a future summary above Issue Activity, clearly separated from authored comments.
Resolved comment thread summaries (coming soon)
Resolving a thread does not currently generate an AI summary.
Emoji react to issues and comments
Use a comment or reply's reaction control to acknowledge it. Reactions update without sending Inbox notifications. Reactions on the Issue description itself and custom emoji uploads are (coming soon).
Inline comments on descriptions (coming soon)
Text-anchored discussion inside an Issue description is not available. Quote the relevant passage in an Activity comment instead.
