#### FAQs

**Q1: What is the difference between Notes and Comments in Plan?**

* Comments are collaborative. You can reply to comments, assign tasks, and have discussions with other users.
* Notes are non-collaborative and are used to annotate data or provide additional context.
* You can respond to a comment, but notes do not support replies.

**Q2: How do Notes and Comments behave when data is filtered or changed?**

Both Notes and Comments in the planning sheet are dynamic and context-aware. They are linked to specific data points, rows, or measures, ensuring that when the report is filtered or updated, the notes and comments automatically appear in the correct location, as they remain tied to the underlying data.
