Comments are numbered pins you drop anywhere on the canvas, each holding a thread of replies. They are a single-user annotation tool, useful for leaving yourself notes or a to-do list on a design, rather than a real-time multi-person chat.
Entering comment mode changes the cursor; the next click on the canvas opens an inline text box at that point. Press Escape to leave comment mode without adding anything. Each comment is stored on the page it was placed on, numbered in the order it was created, and colored by the author's name so multiple authors are easy to tell apart at a glance.
Pins can be dragged to a new position, and each shows a small badge with its reply count when a thread has replies. A hide/show toggle in the floating panel lets you turn all pins off temporarily without deleting anything, useful when you want to see the design without annotations in the way.

Reviewing a page's comments from outside the canvas
Right-clicking a page tab opens a modal listing every comment on that page, each with a Go to comment button that switches to the page, scrolls the pin into view, and flashes it briefly so it is easy to spot.
Your display name comes from the Profile section of Settings; anyone without a name set shows up as "Anonymous". Each author gets a consistent color derived from their name, so the same person's pins and messages always match across a whole thread. Comments are saved as part of the page data through the editor's normal autosave, alongside everything else in the design, so they persist across reloads but are not a live, real-time multi-person feed.
Right-click the canvas and choose Add Comment, or press Alt+Shift+C.
Click the point on the canvas you want to annotate; an inline text box opens there.
Type your note and press Enter (or click the send button) to post it. It becomes pin number 1 (or the next available number) on the page.
Click the pin again, type in the reply box, and press Enter to add a reply; each reply shows its own author and a relative timestamp, building a thread under the original comment.
Click Resolve to mark the thread addressed without removing it, useful for keeping a record of what was raised, or Delete thread to remove the comment and every reply in it permanently.
A resolved comment still shows in the pin list and floating panel, just visually marked as resolved.
Its position updates immediately, both in the panel and as the number shown on its canvas pin, since pins are numbered by their order in the list, not strictly by creation time once you have reordered them.

Right-click a page's tab in the page-tab strip and choose its comments option.
A modal lists every comment on that page with its author, text, and reply count.
Click Go to comment on any entry; the editor switches to that page (if needed), scrolls the pin into view, and flashes it briefly so it is easy to spot.
Comments are stored as part of the page data and saved through the editor's normal autosave, the same as any other change to the design. Two people editing the same design at the same time will not see each other's comment activity update live; refresh or switch pages to pick up changes saved by someone else.
Unnamed authors all look like "Anonymous"
Without a name set in Profile, every comment and reply from that browser shows the same "Anonymous" label and the same color, so multiple unnamed contributors are indistinguishable. Set a name in Settings before commenting if that matters.
Escape has two different jobs near comments
Escape cancels an in-progress comment placement if you are mid-click, and closes the pin's bubble or the Settings screen in other contexts, but it never deletes an already-posted comment.
Resolving keeps a record of what was raised and addressed. Delete only when a comment was a mistake or is no longer relevant at all.
Reorder by priority
Comments are numbered by creation order by default, but dragging items in the floating panel lets you push the most important notes to the top.
Turn pins off for a clean preview
Before sharing a screenshot or handing a design off, toggle pin visibility off from the floating panel so annotations do not show up in the final image.
