Discussions

Discussions are comment threads available on projects and initiatives. Use them to ask questions, share updates, and collaborate with your team and Kowalah partner in context.

​

How discussions work

Discussions appear at the bottom of the project or initiative detail page. Anyone with access to the entity can read and post comments. Each discussion supports threaded replies, so you can respond directly to a specific comment. Replies appear indented beneath the parent comment, making it easy to follow conversations.

​

Posting a comment

Type your message in the comment box and click Comment. Your name and avatar appear alongside the comment, along with a timestamp. To reply to an existing comment, click Reply on that comment. The input box shows “Replying to [Name]” so you know which comment you’re responding to. Click Cancel to go back to posting a top-level comment.

​

Internal comments

Comments can be marked as internal, meaning they’re only visible to your team and not to external stakeholders. Internal comments display an amber “Internal” badge.

​

Managing comments

• Delete — you can delete your own comments using the menu on the comment
• Timestamps — comments show relative time (“2 hours ago”) with the full date and time on hover

​

Where discussions appear

Discussions are scoped to their parent entity. A comment on a project stays on that project; it doesn’t appear on the project’s initiatives or vice versa.
