Personal whiteboard -- how come editors can't leave comments

A colleague shared a whiteboard with me, but I can't leave comments on their board. I have Edit permissions and I can see in the floating right-side nav the 'Comment' icon. When I click on it, it says, 'Click anywhere to leave a comment.' However this isn't true, I don't get an option to leave a comment anywhere.

no ability to add comments on a shared board with editing permissions.png

Hi @Tad Blake-Weber

Welcome to the community.

To be able to create comments, you will need to be granted the comment permissions.

This is a different permission on the space, these are not related to the edit permission.

Note: don't trust AI generated content to be the truth.

You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.

Hi @Marc - Devoteam Thank you.

What's the difference between these two options (below in screenshot).

I would think 'edit' would include commenting, but is that not the case?

If a person can 'view and comment' does that mean they can't edit?

I believe so. But just so I'm on the same page can you provide a screenshot?
