# Discussions

> Use threaded discussions within projects and deliverables to collaborate with your team and Kowalah partner.

Discussions are comment threads available on projects and deliverables. 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 deliverable 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.

<Note>
  The internal flag is designed for separating team-only notes from broader stakeholder communication. Use it when discussing sensitive details or internal coordination.
</Note>

## 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

| Entity           | Location                                       |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Projects**     | Overview tab, discussion section at the bottom |
| **Deliverables** | Detail page, discussion section                |

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