# Comments — Web app

Source: https://www.checklist.design/web-app/comments

## Items

### Anchor to context
Comments attached to a specific piece of content (a paragraph, image, task, or row) rather than floating in a general thread

### Reply threading
Replies nested under the comment they respond to, keeping related discussion together without flattening into a chronological list

### Resolve and archive (if applicable)
A way to mark a comment thread as resolved, removing it from the active view while keeping it accessible in a history or resolved state

### Reactions
Emoji reactions on individual comments as a lightweight way to acknowledge without adding a reply

### @mention element
Mentioning a user by name notifying them directly, drawing them into the thread without requiring a separate message

_Tip: Visually distinguish this so it's clear when a user is mentioned vs their name just being written in plain text_

### Edit action
The ability to edit a comment after posting, with a visible edited marker for transparency after saving edit

### Delete action
Ability to delete a comment after posting, with a confirmation modal beforehand

### Comment count indicator
A visible count or badge on the item being discussed, so collaborators can see where active threads exist without opening each one
