Use this interactive demo to learn how to add and view comments on an Airtable task.

Quick summary

Airtable's comment feature lets team members leave contextual feedback directly on individual records by expanding a task and typing in the comment field. Once submitted, comments appear on the right-hand side of the expanded record, keeping all collaboration in one place.

Steps

Go to your workspace in Airtable to find the base and table containing the record you want to comment on.
Click on the 'Expand task' option to open the full record detail view.
Locate the comment field and enter your comment in the text area provided.
After submitting, your comment will be visible on the right-hand side of the expanded record view.

📌 Why this matters

Airtable's built-in commenting feature enables teams to collaborate directly on individual records without switching to a separate messaging tool. By leaving contextual comments inside expanded tasks, team members can give feedback, ask questions, and track decisions exactly where the work lives. This reduces miscommunication and keeps project conversations tied to the relevant data, making Airtable a powerful hub for both project management and team collaboration.
