title: "Comments"
description: "Use comments to leave feedback, ask questions, and discuss changes with your team."
keywords: ["editor", "comments", "collaboration", "feedback", "mentions", "threads"]

Comments let you and your team leave feedback on specific text in a page without editing the content. Use comments to ask questions, flag issues, or discuss changes before you publish them.
All [roles](/dashboard/roles)—-viewers, editors, and admins—-can leave and reply to comments. Only editors and admins can resolve comment threads.
If your branch has an open pull request on GitHub, Mintlify adds a summary of unresolved comment threads to the pull request description. The summary lists the files with open comments, the first comment in each thread, and a link to open that file in the editor with the comment sidebar open.
The summary updates automatically when you add, resolve, or delete a comment.
## Add a comment
1. Highlight the text you want to comment on.
2. Click **Comment** in the toolbar that appears.
3. Type your comment and press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to submit.

Mentioned teammates receive an email notification.
