# Collaborate on reports with comments

Comments are collaborative threads that facilitate conversations directly from within your report. The Intelligence sheet provides a context-aware commenting solution with support for cell, row, and column-level threaded conversations. Key features include `@mentions`, email notifications, and task assignments.

#### Add comments <a href="#add-comments" id="add-comments"></a>

Add comments in your report to provide context, collaborate with others, and track discussions directly within your data.

1. Select a cell/row/column. Select **Comment**, then select **Add New Comment**.
2. Use the rich text editor to format text and add hyperlinks in comments.
