Comment Cards

Make conversations visible by adding Comment Cards to Boards

While creating a Board, you are now able to add Comment Cards. Comment Cards are a great way to spotlight fun Comment threads, share acknowledgments, and hold conversations not attached to any particular Item.

Be creative with Comment Cards! You can edit the title of the Card to say whatever you like. For example, you can title the Card “Office Updates” if you’d like to use a Comment Card to post important status updates on your office Board.

Comment Card Example

Adding a Comment Card to a Board

Who can add a Comment Card?

The Board's Owner
The Board's Editors
Anyone with the "Board Administrator" System Role Permission for the Board's Location

Ofie Profile Pic Warning: Boards can have up to 16 Cards. Once a Board has 16 Cards, you won't be able to add or copy additional Cards to that Board.

How to add a new Comment Card

Open the Board with which you want to work, then:

Select + Add on your Board.
Select Comments.
If you’d like to edit the title of your Card, click the ellipses in the top right corner and select Edit Header.
Remember that if you Copy a Comment Card, the Comments will not carry over to the new Card.

Ofie Profile Pic Pro-Tip: If you are a Board or Card Editor, try pinning a Comment to the top of the Card. This is a great way to ensure specific comments are seen by everyone who views your Board.

Example Use Cases

Leaving updates on Huddle Boards
Recognizing teammates for their contributions
Team communication not concerning any Item in particular
Announcements
Small issues or updates that don’t need a formal Item

Warning: Comment Cards cannot be exported. If you are exporting a Board with a Comment Card, we recommend changing the Board's Default Print Settings so that the Card is not included in the export. If not, a blank Card will appear on the PDF.
