# Comments

Every file in Rockhopper has a comment thread where your team can discuss changes, ask questions, and make decisions — all tied to the file and its version history.

## Accessing comments

You can open the comment panel from:

* **File Versions page** — click the comment icon in the top navigation bar
* **Difference Analysis page** — select the **Comments** tab in the right-hand panel

A red dot on the icon means there are unread comments. Each comment is automatically tagged with the file version that was active when it was written. Comments made while changes are uncommitted are labeled **Uncommitted** until a new version is created.

## Tagging people, versions, and cells

Rockhopper comments support three types of inline tags that keep discussions precise and connected to the work.

### @mention a team member

Type **@** and pick a name from the dropdown. The person will receive an email notification. Use this to assign tasks, ask questions, or flag something for someone's attention.

### #reference a version

Type **#** and select a version number. This creates a clickable link so anyone reading the comment can jump straight to that version's details.

### =reference a cell

Right-click on a changed cell in the spreadsheet and select **Add comment**.

Rockhopper inserts a clickable cell reference (like `Sheet1!B4`) into your comment. When someone clicks the reference, the spreadsheet navigates to that cell.

You can also type **=** directly in the comment input to reference a cell by address.

## Filtering and editing

**Filter by person** — Click a team member's name in the comment panel to see only their comments. Clear the filter to return to the full thread.

**Edit your comments** — Click the options menu (**...**) on any of your comments and select **Edit**.

## Resolved comments

Comments that have been resolved show a green **Resolved** badge. Resolved threads are hidden by default — use the **Resolved threads** filter to bring them back into view.

{% hint style="info" %}
Comment resolution is currently available through the [AI assistant integration](/product-guide/ai-assistant.md) (via the `resolve_comment` tool) rather than a button in the web app. A UI toggle is planned for a future release.
{% endhint %}

## Deleting a comment

To delete a comment you wrote, click the options menu (**...**) and select **Delete**. Deleted comments are removed from the thread permanently. You can only delete your own comments.
