How to Add Comments in Inbox

October 28, 2025

Comments can be added to submissions in the Inbox to keep the full context of your work in one place—from initial review to final follow-up. They’re useful when multiple team members are handling the same submissions, when updates or clarifications are needed, or when you want a running conversation tied to each response. By letting users leave notes, tag colleagues, and reply directly within each record, you’ll spend less time switching tools and more time getting things done.

Adding General Comments

Adding comments helps you and your team stay aligned when reviewing form submissions. You can do it in just a few steps:

  1. On your Workspace page, click on Type at the top, and in the Dropdown menu that opens, uncheck the boxes next to all the assets except Forms, so only they’ll be shown on the page.

  1. While viewing a submission in Inbox, hover your mouse over an answer, and then click on the Message icon that appears on the right side of it.
