Assign comments

Make a comment into an action item by assigning it to someone.

This creates a new required item for the assignee to complete before the task can be closed.

Check out our course Assigned Comments in ClickUp University.

Assign a comment

Assigning a comment will:

  • Notify the person that you assigned a comment
  • Display an unresolved comment in their subtasks, task lists, and Team view.

Just like a parent comment, you can also assign threaded replies.

Assign a new comment

To assign a new comment while drafting:

  1. Click on the Assign button.
  2. Search or browse for the assignee.

Resolve a comment

Click the Resolve checkbox after you’ve completed the required action. The name of the person who resolved the comment will appear next to the checkmark.

This action also notifies the user that issued the assignment that the comment has been resolved.

To see the day and time the assigned comment was resolved, hover over it.

Subtasks

When viewing a task, see any assigned comments you have in the subtasks with the icon on the right side. Click the icon to view what the assigned comment says without having to click into the subtask itself.

Docs

Select any text in your Doc to turn it into an assigned comment. Once a comment is added, any replies will be threaded within the Doc. Keep track of all of your assigned comments in Docs by looking in the Assigned to me section of your Docs Hub.

You can link a Doc to a task by typing /Doc into the comments field or by adding it as a Relationship.

After a Doc is linked to a task, you can see your assigned comments from the linked Doc. From the comment section, you can click the embedded Doc to see your assigned comments within the Doc.
