Overview

Comments and the Activity log help your team collaborate directly where the work happens. Instead of relying on long email threads, you can leave notes on folders and files and review recent changes in one place. This gives everyone clearer context and faster updates.

Key Benefits

  • Keeps conversations connected to the actual file or folder.

  • Improves accountability by showing what changed and when.

  • Helps teammates quickly catch up without extra meetings.

  • Reduces back-and-forth across email and chat.

How To

Step 1: Open Files and select the folder or file you want to review.

Step 2: Add a comment to share an update, ask a question, or note next steps.

Step 3: Open the Activity log for that location to review recent changes.

Step 4: Look for key details such as who made an update and when it happened.

Step 5: Use comments and activity together to keep decisions visible to the whole team.
