Feedback beside the file
Keep the discussion attached to the document instead of asking the team to match messages to attachments.
For feedback that belongs on the document
Document comments that keep feedback out of the inbox
Discuss the file where the work is happening, keep comments attached to the document and let the next person see what needs a response.
A workspace keeps the document, the people involved and the next step in one place.
What it changes
The useful comment is the one that keeps its context.
An email reply can tell a team that something needs changing, but it rarely makes clear which sentence, number or page caused the concern. Comments that sit beside the document make feedback easier to act on and easier to understand after the conversation has moved forward.
EveryTask treats comments as part of the document workflow. They can support an internal discussion or client review, then remain with the project as the document is revised, approved and eventually delivered or signed.
The capability
More than one action on a file
A visible response needed
Make it clearer which document needs attention without forcing people to search every project.
Comments in document context
Keep feedback understandable against the version and stage of work that prompted it.
Internal and client work
Use comments within the team or as part of a client review without changing where the document lives.
Resolve work deliberately
Turn feedback into a revision, an approval decision or a clear explanation instead of letting it disappear.
A retained conversation
The project keeps useful context available when the document comes up again later.
Useful when
For feedback that needs a place to land.
A proposal needs a commercial question answered
Keep the question with the proposal so the account owner can resolve it in the right context.
A proof needs specific client feedback
Use comments and client review to make it clear what the client is responding to before a revision is made.
A team needs a calmer handover
A colleague can see the discussion beside the file instead of opening several inboxes for the background.
How it works
Start with the document. Keep the context.
- 01
Put the working document in the correct client project.
- 02
Use comments or a client review link to collect feedback on the document while it is still open to change.
- 03
Resolve the feedback, save the next version and move the document on when it is ready.
Questions, answered
Using this capability with confidence.
Are document comments the same as client approval?
No. Comments are for questions and feedback. Approval is a clear decision on a version that is ready to move forward.
Can comments be used for client feedback?
Yes. Client review is designed to collect feedback on a document without asking the client to create a workspace account.
What happens after a comment leads to a change?
The document owner can make the revision and save the next version, preserving the context around the change.
Why use document comments instead of email?
The conversation remains connected to the relevant document and version, making it easier for the team to understand and act on later.
When the work needs to stay
Put the document in a workspace.
Comments are most useful when the document stays in a workspace project, where feedback, versions and the next decision remain connected.
