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.
Comments live only inside the editor. They are never included in the published site or committed to your repository.
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, 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 navigate to the comment in the editor.
The summary updates when you add, resolve, or delete a comment.
## Add a comment
1. Highlight the text you want to comment on.
2. Click the <Icon icon="message-square-text" /> **Comment** icon in the toolbar.
3. Type your comment and press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to submit.

## Mention a teammate
Type `@` in a comment or reply to mention a teammate. People must be a member of your organization for you to mention them.
Mentioned teammates receive an email notification.
## Resolve a comment
Editors and admins can resolve threads when a discussion is complete.
Click the checkmark icon to resolve a thread. Resolved threads are removed from the comment sidebar and the highlight is cleared from the page.
