# Extract Comments

Use the **Extract Comments** transformation to extract cell-level comments and related metadata into your query. The extracted information helps preserve business context and collaboration details for downstream reporting and analysis.

### About extracting comments

The **Extract Comments** transformation adds the comment text together with metadata such as the user who updated the comment, the date, and time the comment was added, the thread status, and the assigned user.

You can find the **Extract Comments** transformation on the **Transform** tab.

### Extract comments

On the **Transform** tab, select **Extract Comments**.

After the transformation completes, Infobridge adds the following columns to the query:

* **comment**: Shows the extracted comment text.
* **updatedByUser**: Shows the user who last updated the comment.
* **dateTime**: Shows the date and time when the comment was added or last updated.
* **threadStatus**: Shows the current status of the comment thread.
* **threadAssignedId**: Shows the user assigned to the comment thread.

Continue transforming the query, or write the extracted comments and metadata to a destination.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fabricplan.com/planning-sheets/how-tos/infobridge/data-transformations/extract-comments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
