Before using project comments, you must have access to your Mox workspace and be a member of the project or the project owner.

In this help article, we will cover adding comments, editing comments, replying to comments, and deleting comments.

  • All comment activity will be shown in the History of the project.

  • Any project member who has access to the project can comment or reply.

  • A user can only edit or delete their own comments and replies.

  • Replies are all nested under the main comment; you can only reply to the original comment, not individual replies.

  • You need to complete any comment action before you can add or edit any other comment.


Add Comment

Step 1: Navigate to the Home page or the Projects page of your workspace, and click on one of the projects shown. This will open your selected project.
