# Commenting Submissions

Daxium-Air allows you to comment on submissions so your teams can exchange on the data they report. This is particularly useful for asking for details about a submission before validating it, for example.

## Commenting on the web

The comment feature is available on **every submission**, regardless of which view (table, gallery, map, calendar, etc.) you are accessing it from.

The feature is also available in both submission layouts: standard and summary.

### Reading & writing comments

Clicking the comments button opens a side panel with the comment section. The comment feature allows you to:

* Write a comment, and format it with markdown (Bold, Italic, Underline, Bullet & Numbered lists, URLs)
* Reply to a comment (the replies are collapsible & expandable)
* Delete a comment
* Edit a comment (it will have the "Edited" mention afterwards)
* Reorder comments from oldest to newest or the other way around.

### Receiving notifications

The feature also includes a notification system. Each time a comment is added to a submission you are assigned to, you will get a notification. The notification will be available on the bell on the top right of your screen. Clicking on the link will lead you to the submission & comment.

{% hint style="info" %}
To receive notifications for **every** comment added to a submission, you must be [assigned to that submission](/user-documentation/build/building-forms/workflow-and-assignation.md#assignation). If you are not assigned to it, you will only be notified when someone replies to a comment you wrote yourself.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip — notify the submission creator of every comment.** If you want the person who created a submission to be notified each time someone comments on it, you can wire this up automatically:

1. Add a simple [workflow](/user-documentation/build/building-forms/workflow-and-assignation.md) to your form and set up [assignation](/user-documentation/build/building-forms/workflow-and-assignation.md#assignation) (a user field designated as the assignee in the workflow settings).
2. Create an [automation](/user-documentation/build/building-forms/automations.md) triggered **when the submission is created**, of the **Modify the value of a field** type. Select the user field that defines the assignee and fill it with the submission's creator.

This way the creator is automatically assigned at creation and receives a notification for every comment.

Remember a single user can only have **1,000 submissions assigned** at a time, so also set up an automation to **unassign** the creator after a delay (for example, once the submission reaches a final workflow state).
{% endhint %}

## Commenting on the mobile

The same features are available on mobile, both Android and iOS. Notifications are sent via the standard push notification system, like all other Daxium-Air mobile notifications.

## Limitations

* A submission is limited to 50 comments
* Each comment is limited to 1,000 characters
* You can't upload attachments in the comments
* You can't tag a user for him to be notified
* You can't import or export comments
