How to add comments in whiteboard?

[Jan Niklas Rösch]

We would love to use whiteboards but one major backbone of our workflow is to add comments and tag users wherever changes have been made to direct the focus or to notify people of changes. I would love to see an integration such as the default in-line comments of confluence being added to whiteboards

[Christina Ristevski · Accepted solution]

Hey @Jan Niklas Rösch totalllly hear you on this one. We definitely want to bring in the ability to leave comments + tag users. This is something on our roadmap :-)

[Emily Mcgregor]

Any idea when this might be? Would effect our current evaluations of switching over to whiteboard

[Pierre Leroux]

Hi @Christina Ristevski would you have any temptative roadmap for this feature?

[Christina Ristevski]

@Pierre Leroux we're actively working on this feature, you'll likely see it land in product in the next 1-2 months.

[Alexandra Nelson]

Absolutely agree. Without that feature, it's really difficult to actively use it to collaborate

[Michel Jamati]

Any movement on this? I'm having alot of trouble using this functionality without comment capabilities.

Need to create post-it notes to comment on other post-it notes.

[Aysegul Ozgur]

We strongly need this ability as well, in order to mention teammates without going to the hassle of taking screenshots - so inefficient

[Raphael Gomes Fonseca]

Also passing by to see if there's an update! @Christina Ristevski

@Christina Ristevski Do you have any update on this? 

Our team needs to know the timing of this release as we are evaluating multiple options.

Thanks.

[Christina Ristevski]

Hey @Farzin Habib Pour we don't have an exact date but likely some time early next year!

[Casey Ogle]

@Christina Ristevski Do we have any updates on this? I am working on a project and the team is asking how we can tag contributors on the whiteboard. 

[Matt Wagner]

@Christina Ristevski are there any updates on this capability?  Thank you.

[Mohsin Qamar]

Are we any closer to the 'early next year' date ? Any indication of availability is appreciated.

[Jessica McIntosh]

@Emily Ditchfield  - on May 8th you said this feature would be released within a month.  Is that still on track? Will it be released by early June?  Looking at the thread, it seems that this feature is promised but keeps getting put off.  

it would be helpful to know the truth... not just a guess as to when it will release.  

Thanks!

[Peter Wilczynski]

HI @Christina Ristevski 

Is the release date for comments any time soon? 

Our team would like to switch from the draw.io but lack of comments is stopping us from doing so. 

[Emily Ditchfield]

Hi @Peter Wilczynski! We're looking to have commenting capabilities out in the next month!

[Emily Ditchfield]

Hi @Jan Niklas Rösch ! This feature should now be available to you, you can read about some other features we've released/have coming soon here. Let us know if you have any feedback!

[Brian Gauthier]

@Emily Ditchfield  - I don't see the comments feature on my whiteboard.   Is there a setting that needs to be turned on?

[Emily Ditchfield]

Hi Brian, one reason you may not have this feature yet is that you are on Release Tracks. As we are now out of Beta our features will now follow the usual cadence of Confluence releases including those of release tracks.
