# Use cases of team-only comments:

By using **team-only comments,** you can:

-   **Give instructions** - Now and then, your team needs more guidance on a reviewer's comment, or they need to know what steps to take next.
    
-   **Discuss feedback** - If a comment is not entirely clear or there are different opinions, your team can discuss it privately.
    
-   **Collect information** \- Sometimes, you need to know more before responding directly to a reviewer's feedback. Now, you can have private conversations to gather information.
    
-   **Translate** - Language barriers between the stakeholders and the team can cause misconceptions; by using the internal commenting feature, you can help by translating feedback for your team.
    
-   **Make handovers** \- let your content creators know that they can start implementing the changes.

⚠️ **_Please note:_** _You can only give team-only_ _replies to a team-only comment_**_._**

# See team-only comments

All members of your team will be able to see team-only comments regardless of their role in the project.

The team-only comment function works similarly to normal commenting. With team-only comments, you will still be able to attach files, reply to others, and mention other users. The main difference is that you can **only mention teammates**. You can't mention reviewers.

⚠️ **_Please note:_** _Your team members need to be logged in to be able to see team-only comments. If they open a review link without being logged in, our system will not know that they are team members and won't show the team-only_ _conversations._

# How do I tell if my comment is a team-only comment?

To help you distinguish team-only comments from normal comments, the comment box will always be **yellow for private conversations** and also shows an eye icon in the top corner of the comment.
