Comment Feature

Comment is available for both span and row-based projects with tabular view.

We understand that communication is an essential component of the labeling process. We created the comment feature to help teams produce fun and productive collaborations between all their members. You can also utilize the comment feature in your own personal workspace as well!​ (See this YouTube video for visual instructions on how to leave comments).

Commenting on a Label

So, how do you leave a comment on a label? First, highlight the label you would like to comment on, and then right-click on that highlighted label. Select the Comment option and you will be able to write your comment. If you wanted to merely see the existing thread for the label, you will be able to see all the previous comments made here.

You do not have to click on each label with comments to access the subsequent thread. You can also open the comments from the Comments extension.

Edit Comment

Editing a comment can be done by both labelers and reviewers by clicking Edit from the triple dot menu.

Changes to the edited comment will be saved after clicking Save.

Resolve Comment

Resolving a comment can be done by clicking the check icon in the comment. Labelers and reviewers are able to resolve comments.

Once the user has chosen to resolve a comment, it will be moved to the Resolved tab. The comment will disappear from the text editor and can only be accessed from the Comments extension in the Resolved tab.

Reopen Comment

Does a previously resolved conversation need to be revisited? You can reopen these comment threads. Reopening a comment thread can be done by clicking Re-open found inside the triple dot menu. It can only be done if a comment has been previously resolved.

Delete Comment

The delete action can only be performed by an admin or the comment creator. It can be done by clicking Delete from the triple dot menu.

Commenting on a Span of Tokens

You can also comment on a span of tokens. Same as leaving a comment on a label, highlight the span you wish to leave a comment on and right-click on it.

Commenting in a Row-Based Project

In a row-based project with tabular view, right-click on the cell that you would like to comment on, and you'll see the Comment option. Additionally, you can comment on an empty cell to coordinate with teammates on the best label for that question.
