# Comments

> Create comments, tag colleagues, manage discussions and write to-do's directly in Francis.

Comments let you and your team discuss directly inside your model. Threads keep conversations organized, and mentions notify teammates by email.

## Add a comment

1. Right-click any cell in your model
2. Select **Comment** from the menu
3. Type your comment and press `Enter` to post

Comments attach to the selected cell. Drag the comment indicator to move it to another cell if needed.

## Edit a comment

Hover over the comment, click the three-dot menu (⋯), and select **Edit**. Update your text and press `Enter` to save. Edited comments are marked with "(edited)" so teammates can see the original context changed.

## Mentions

Type `@` followed by a teammate's name to mention them. They receive an email notification immediately.

## Manage threads

### Resolve

When a discussion is concluded, open the thread and click **Resolve**. The thread is archived and removed from the active view. To revisit it, select **Show resolved** in the comments overview.

### Mark as unread

Open the thread, click the three-dot menu (⋯), and select **Mark as unread**. The thread closes and its notification badge reappears in the comments overview. Useful for flagging threads you want to return to.

### Delete

Open the thread, select the action menu, and choose **Delete thread**. Confirm when prompted.

<Warning>
  Deleting a thread is permanent. Resolve instead of deleting to preserve context for future reference.
</Warning>

## Comments overview

The comments overview shows all active threads across your model. By default it displays unresolved threads from all sheets you have access to, including those from teammates.

Filter options:

* **Hide comments**: hides comment indicators in the model to improve readability
* **Show resolved**: reveals archived threads for historical review
* **Only current sheet**: limits the view to threads on the sheet you're on
* **Only your threads**: limits the view to threads you started
