# Comments and notifications

RakerOne keeps the conversation next to the work. You discuss a task, a record, or a result right where it lives with **comments**, pull a teammate in with an **@mention**, and stay on top of what needs you through your **Inbox**.

## Comments

A comment thread is a lightweight discussion attached to a single piece of work. The same panel appears in several places, so it works the same way everywhere you find it.

You'll find a **Comments** thread on:

* A **task** inside a run — opens in the task detail panel.
* A **record** — opens in the record panel when you're viewing the record.
* A **review-grid row** in a batch action run — opens in the row's detail sheet.

Open any of these and look for the thread. Its heading reads **Comments**, or **Comments on '\[subject]'** when it's about a named thing. An empty thread shows *No comments yet.*

### Post a comment

Open the task, record, or review row you want to discuss, then find its **Comments** thread.

Type in the composer at the bottom (placeholder *Reply to thread…*). Use the **Text formatting** toolbar for **Bold**, **Italic**, **Code**, **Heading**, and **List**, or add an emoji with **Insert emoji**.

Click **Post comment**. The box clears when the comment is sent.

A single comment can hold up to 10,000 characters.

### @mention a teammate

To pull a teammate into the conversation, mention them.

In the composer, type **@**. The **Mention teammate** picker opens with matching names. If nobody matches, you'll see *No teammates found*.

Choose the teammate. Their name appears in your comment as a highlighted mention badge.

Click **Post comment**. The person you mentioned gets a notification in their [Inbox](#the-inbox).

Typing a plain email address does not create a mention — only a true **@** mention highlights and notifies. You can write email addresses in a comment safely.

A mention can take a moment to reach the other person. While a thread is open it refreshes itself roughly every 20 seconds, so a new mention surfaces shortly after you post it rather than instantly.

### Edit or delete your comment

Each comment has a **Comment actions** menu with **Edit** and **Delete**.

* **Edit** opens the comment inline (placeholder *Edit your comment*) with **Save** and **Cancel**. An edited comment shows an **(edited)** marker afterward.
* **Delete** removes the comment from the thread.

You can edit only **your own** comments — even a project manager can't edit someone else's. You can always delete your own comment, and a project manager or admin can delete anyone's comment in their project.

### Who can comment

If you can open a run, record, or review row, you can read its comments. To post, edit, or delete your own comment, you need to be able to work on tasks. In practice that means **Member** and up can comment. People who aren't on a project's access list can't see or post to its threads. For the full breakdown of what each role can do, see [Roles and permissions](/admin/roles-and-permissions).

## The Inbox

Your **Inbox** is a personal feed of things that need your attention: mentions, task assignments, and approval requests. It opens as an overlay from the sidebar, not as a full page.

The Inbox is your notification feed. It's different from [My work](/work/my-work), which is your personal list of the tasks waiting on you across all projects. Use the Inbox to catch what just happened; use My work to plan what to do next.

### Open the Inbox

In the sidebar, click **Inbox**. When you have unread notifications, the **Inbox** item shows a count badge (it reads **99+** above 99).

Inside the overlay you'll find a **Search inbox…** box at the top, notifications grouped under **Unread** and **Read** headings, and an **All** / **Unread** toggle with **Mark all read** along the bottom. Each notification shows a title and a type line, plus a **New** badge while it's unread.

### What gets you a notification

Someone **@mentioned** you in a comment. Opening it jumps to the thread where you were mentioned.

A task was assigned to you. Opening it takes you to the task so you can claim it or start work. To learn how assignment decides who owns a task, see [Assignments and approvals](/playbooks/assignments-and-approvals).

Something is waiting on your sign-off (shown as **Needs approval**). Opening it takes you to the item to approve. For how to review and approve AI output, see [Reviewing AI work](/work/reviewing-ai-work).

### Work through your Inbox

* **Open an item** — click a notification to jump straight to the task, record, or approval it's about.
* **Filter** — switch the bottom tabs between **All** and **Unread**.
* **Search** — type in **Search inbox…** to filter by text.
* **Mark everything read** — click **Mark all read**. It's disabled when there's nothing unread.

- **Loading** — *Loading inbox…* while notifications load.
- **Caught up** — *You're all caught up* when there's nothing waiting.
- **Nothing unread** — *Nothing unread* on the Unread tab.
- **No search matches** — *No inbox matches* when your search finds nothing.
- **Error** — *We couldn't load your inbox* with *Refresh the page to try again.* Refresh the page to retry.
