Comment management in Tallyfy

Add, edit, and delete comments on any task in Tallyfy. Open the task, type your message, use @mentions to notify teammates, and post.

Add comments to tasks

  1. Open the task you want to comment on.
  2. Scroll down to the Comments section.
  3. Type your message. You can use the rich text editor to add formatting, files, images, etc.
  4. Click Post.

Your comment appears with your name and timestamp.

Edit comments

You can only edit your own comments (unless you’re an Admin).

  1. Find your comment.
  2. Click the Edit button (pencil icon) on your comment.
  3. Make your changes.
  4. Click Save.

Delete comments

Only the comment author or an Admin can delete a comment. Deletion is permanent.

  1. Find your comment.
  2. Click the Delete button (trash icon) on your comment.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

Use @mentions

Type @ followed by someone’s name. Pick them from the dropdown. They’ll get a notification instantly.

Mentioning grants visibility

When you @mention someone who doesn’t have access to the process yet, Tallyfy automatically gives them visibility. Only tag people who should actually see the work.

Guest visibility

Comments are hidden from guests by default. When posting a comment, use the visibility dropdown (lock/unlock icon) to switch between Hide from guest and Visible to everyone.

Guests can always see their own comments.

Comment reactions

React to any comment with emojis by clicking the reaction icon below it.

Commenting tips

  • Stay focused on the task - save general discussions for process-level comments
  • @mention specific people when you need answers
  • Use bold for key points or deadlines
  • Include context: “Updated vendor list (see attachment)” beats just “Updated”

Request task status

Click the three-dots menu (…) on a task and select Request Status. Tallyfy posts a comment that @mentions all assignees, asking for a status update.
