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.

How to add a Comment Card to a Board
- Only Board Editors can add Comment Cards
- To add a Comment Card, select + Add on your Board, and select Comments. It’s that simple!
- If you’d like to edit the title of your Card, click the ellipses in the top right corner and select Edit Header.

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
Key Differences Between Comments on Items and Comment Cards
Comment Cards share much of the same functionality as Comments in Items, but you should know a few key differences.
- You cannot @mention another User in Comment Cards.
- Comment Cards do not support the use of images or tables.
- There is no “Email Now” option when commenting on a Comment Card.
- If you are exporting a Board to a PDF, Comments will not appear.
Interacting with Comment Cards
